Viognier (pronounced vee-on-yee-ay) is a rich, exotically fruity white wine, sometimes achieving quite high levels of alcohol so what are the ideal foods to pair with it?

There’s such an obvious wine match for lobster (great chardonnay) that you might wonder if it was worth considering anything else but there are other interesting alternatives.

Fascinating trip to @vinicolagoes to see how they make winter wines from vines that are basically tricked into having a harvest during the dry but still warm winter rather than the summer, an innovative way of getting round the semi-tropical climate in some regions of Brazil. Will be writing more on this. #brazilianwine #presstrip. . . . #vineyard #vines #winesofbrazil #harvest #winterwines #instawine #winestagramFantastic meal and some terrific wines @tenutafa. Perfect salad with cheese, pancetta, figs and walnuts - great with their lightly wooded alvarinho followed by the most amazing dish of pork, linguiça toscana, beans and shredded greens with their touriga nacional. AND a dish of beef and rice to go with their top wine GOAT which stands - tongue in cheek - for Greatest of All Time. The two young winemakers who own it started making wine in a basement and are still only 26 and 27. The chef @luandamiano, like most of the people they work with, is a mate. Great story. #brazilianwine #guest. . . . #salad #pork #beans #alvarinho #brazilianfoodOne thing I didn’t expect in Brazil wine country was a South African level of wine tourism. This is the rather gorgeous @grupomiolo wine garden and the view from the top of the tower. There are luxurious little pods dotted around the grass where you can recline like a Roman emperor (or empress) and drink sparkling wine. Obvs the weather helps #sorrynotsorry #presstrip #brazilianwine . . . #wine #winetourism #miolo #winegardenDoesn’t this frosty weather make you feel like a fondue? Mmmmmm - it certainly does me. Treat yourself to one this weekend. Here’s my recipe from Winelovers’ Kitchen (link in profile.
