viognier

noun2

1. •
   A type of white wine-producing grape originally grown in the Rhône valley.

   • In a contest, best value goes to the intensely densely fruited Western Range Julimar 2006 Shiraz/Viognier, where the white grape viognier adds lift to the dense red shiraz grapes. — 2009
2. •
   A white wine made chiefly from viognier grapes.

   • Though the red we drank was fine with the dish, a white, like a rich viognier with a pedigree — a Condrieu, of course — suits it in far better style. — 2007
