Riversong Viognier 2018
Valle del Rapel
From four-time Chilean Winery of the Year, Luis Felipe Edwards, Riversong is a real charmer. It perfectly combines the exotic spice and ripe lychee and apricot fruit of classic Viognier with a bright stony freshness that sets the taste buds tingling.
Beyond the Label
Tasting notes
Rich, fresh, mid-weight, with juicy apricot fruit and spice
Aroma
Tropical and stone fruit notes with floral high notes
Oz Clarke poetically calls Viognier “a succulent, sybaritic creature” (Grapes and Wines). So if you are fond of sensuous luxury, Viognier, with its exotic fruit, floral and spice notes, is an excellent choice. Riversong comes from the renowned family cellar Luis Felipe Edwards, which has been awarded Chilean Winery of the Year four times. They like to keep everything very much in the family – their talented head winemaker is even son-in-law to the owner. Using estate grown grapes from Chile’s Rapel region, Riversong perfectly exhibits the fine floral notes and honeyed apricot fruit of this high quality northern Rhône variety. Intense yet fresh, it’s a joy to sip on its own, and goes well with honey glazed chicken or swordfish with salsa.
