What it pairs with

  • Steamed sea bream with fennel
    The wine's light floral texture pairs gently with steamed white fish and fennel.
  • Goat cheese salad with apricot vinaigrette
    The wine's apricot notes echo the vinaigrette while the acidity cuts the goat cheese.
  • Mussels with cream and tarragon
    Mineral Viognier and cream-sauced mussels are a natural pairing.
