Viognier (“vee-on-yay”) is a green-skinned wine grape that is being grown in an increasing number of South Burnett vineyards.

With amazing flavours such as stonefruit, tangerine, honeysuckle, rose, and even citrus and mineral notes in some of the more restrained versions, it is a must try variety from the region. It has the potential to be made in crisp, clean refreshing styles or bold, oaked versions with layers of texture and complexity.

South Burnett Viognier has begun to be recognised with some small producers in the region scoring medals and accolades from wine shows and wine writers such as James Halliday.
