Vina Robles 2023 Viognier

Tasting Notes

The Vina Robles 2023 Viognier presents itself in a brilliant light‑straw hue, offering an aromatic profile that balances freshness and varietal richness. According to producer and retailer notes, the wine opens with expressive aromas of peach and mandarin orange, accented by subtle hints of fresh ginger and floral tones. Additional tasting impressions from other retailers highlight layers of grapefruit, guava, passionfruit, and lime zest, giving the wine a vibrant, fruit‑forward character supported by lively acidity. On the palate, the Viognier is medium‑bodied with flavors echoing its aromatics—peach, citrus, and tropical fruit—carried by moderate acidity and finishing with a juicy, refreshing lift. A separate critical review notes a flinty, steely edge with touches of apple peel, apple‑cider tones, and stony minerality, adding complexity to the wine’s bright fruit core.

This Viognier’s combination of stone fruit, citrus, tropical notes, and crisp acidity makes it a versatile partner at the table. It pairs beautifully with dishes that highlight freshness and aromatic nuance, such as grilled shrimp with citrus glaze, seared scallops, Vietnamese spring rolls, or chicken in light ginger‑coconut broth. Its fruit‑forward profile also complements soft cheeses like chèvre, as well as salads featuring peach, mandarin, or ginger‑infused dressings. Spicy Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly Thai or Vietnamese preparations, benefits from the wine’s juicy finish and aromatic lift.
