Winery Review: Viognier, one of the finest grape varieties, originates from the Rhône Valley of France. When well looked after, it produces a distinctive, particularly fragrant wine, a true delight to the senses. Saint Régis is a great Viognier bottling, with peachy aromas, hints of tangerine and menthol, and a pure and fresh character. 

My Review: This wine was a fragrant, fruity wine, as the winery review describes. I received a citrus smell, but couldn't place the exact fruit. I got hints of citrus in the taste of the wine as well, but it was more of an orange. I did not receive any of a menthol taste. This wine tasted dry to me. 

I did not taste this wine with food.
