2019 DiONYSTiC 'Grillet' Viognier
I’m a sucker for white wines and Rhône whites are right up there at the top of my “fav” list. In the world of fine wine, I think Viognier is one of the most misunderstood grapes. Along with grapes like Gewurztraminer and Riesling, Viognier also has a perception problem. At DIONYSTIC (∆), we love a good fight. This is one helluva Viognier.
