WHITE WINE

Montesion Merlot GR 2019

Viognier is already known for its aromatic profile, oak aging further enhances its bouquet. It introduces additional layers of complexity, including notes of butterscotch, honey, and nuts, which mingle with the wine’s typical floral and fruity aromas. Viognier Barrique wines often have the potential for aging gracefully due to the structural changes imparted by oak aging. Over time, the wine may develop more nuanced flavors and evolve into a more complex expression of the varietal.
