2020 Santa Parra Viognier Reserva

Explore the fruity nuances of 2020 Santa Parra Reserve Viognier, a dry, aromatic white wine. Similar to Chardonnay in it being fuller-bodied, Viognier is a varietal originally from France appreciated for its perfumed bouquet. Gleaming straw-yellow in the glass, this wine has a lovely nose displaying tropical fruits and delicate apricot. These fruit notes carry into the palate, complemented by balanced acidity. Aged in stainless steel instead of oak casks, this wine has a satisfying finish with subtle bitter hints. Grapes were cultivated in vineyards south of Santiago, in Chile’s Maule Valley. Viognier flourishes in its Mediterranean-like climate with winter rains, arid summers, and marked temperature fluctuations between night and day. Each of these elements play a vital role in contributing to grapes full of character, with ripe tannins, excellent aromas. 2020 Santa Parra Reserve Viognier is best enjoyed with foods that will complement its fruity flavors without overwhelming its floral aromas. International dishes, including Indian, Thai, and Mexican foods, are tasty pairings to explore. Serve chilled.
