Penya
Vin de Pays des Côtes Catalanes Viognier
Roussillon, Languedoc Roussillon, France
Straw, clear, bright.
White grape, peach, and pear on the nose with a touch of oak when I'm looking for it. Floral as well.
Things are much more clear for me in the pallatte. A nice light oaking with a mouth full of flowers. Roses. Strong acidity and the same fruits as in the nose. The minerality reminds me it's an old world white. The touch of bitterness that comes with all this makes this not quite for me, but is better with food. Did this one blind before I knew wines other than Chardonnay got oaked. Yay learning.

Minerals, but light. Dry but soft. Fruits but not overly sweet.
