Why This Wine Matters
Viognier is one of the world's most aromatic white grape varieties, celebrated for its expressive floral bouquet and rich stone fruit flavours. While traditionally associated with France's Rhône Valley, the warm climate and long growing season of North Macedonia's Tikveš region allow Viognier to ripen beautifully while maintaining freshness and balance.
