Viognier
- This rare varietal originated in Condrieu, on the northern
Rhône. It is predominantly found in the Rhône
valley and California, noted for spice, floral, citrus, apricot,
apple and peach flavors. It typically produces medium bodied
wines with relatively high acids and fruit. Viogner can produce
fairly complex wines.
Vidal
Blanc - Vidal is mostly grown in the northeast US, and
is very hearty. It does well in late harvest sweet wines,
as well as in icewines.
Zinfandel
- Most Zinfandel grapes are grown in California, although
they are thought to have originated in Southern Italy. The
wines can be fruity or spicy, depending on age. The Zinfandel
grape makes both Red Zinfandel (if the skins are left on)
and White Zinfandel (if the skins are removed).
