Domaine Faury, Condrieu Mornieux 2023
The "Mornieux" vineyard is situated on terraced slopes with optimal sun exposure, typical of the Condrieu region, and this 100% Viognier is full-bodied and luscious, with flavours of ripe stone fruits, citrus zest, and a touch of honey. Balanced acidity provides freshness, and the mineral backbone adds finesse. Pair with seared scallops or grilled prawns, creamy cheeses like Saint-Marcellin or Brie, or poultry in creamy sauces or dishes featuring aromatic herbs. Domaine Faury is a family-run estate known for its commitment to sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking techniques. Lionel Faury, who leads the domaine, focuses on expressing the terroir of the Rhône's steep, granite-rich slopes. Lionel is determined to push his wines in to the front rank of the Northern Rhône’s top wines and this superb white is a shining example of him succeeding...
Yalumba, 'The Virgilius' Viognier 2023
Fragrant and composed, this is Viognier with polish rather than excess. Aromas of apricot, white peach and honeysuckle lead into a textured, gently rounded palate, lifted by fresh acidity and a subtle savoury edge. Generous, but never heavy, with real balance and a long, elegant finish. Founded in 1849, Yalumba is Australia’s oldest family-owned winery and a quiet pioneer of Viognier. Virgilius sits at the top of their white range, reflecting the house style perfectly: expressive, thoughtful and built on fruit purity rather than overt winemaking.
