The grapes in NDP are from the south of France. I apologize for not knowing more about the wine, but its info is a bit hard to come by on the internet. Alcohol is quite restrained at 13% abv and the bottle cost less than $10 at Trader Joe's.
This wine is golden in the glass. Its nose smells of honeysuckle, lemon, and lime, with a savory streak running through it all. The palate offers the fruit, followed by salinity and minerality. Acidity is pleasant, if not ripping, and a nutty flavor appears on the finish.
I was really jonesing for some reason for a wedge salad with really good blue cheese dressing. I put Kalamata olives and walnuts on it little bit of garlic powder and salt and pepper. I was very surprised by this Viogier with it. What what are we going to do it was very subtle I was expecting it to be a little bit more viscous and a little more intense and I was really surprised I would buy a case of this right off the bat.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet it's a great pairing! Glad you enjoyed the wine.
DeleteSold Out TJ’s. Can’t seem to find anywhere. Anyone help? Loved this Viognier NDP
ReplyDeleteSo many wines at Trader Joe’s seem to be available only at Trader Joe’s. If I have any luck locating, I’ll post back here.
