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.
