How much do you know about Viognier? 🍇 Pronounced: Vee-on-yay 🗣️

Viognier is a white grape varietal mostly grown in France, which is said to be its country of origin alongside Croatia 🇫🇷 🇭🇷

Often found as a single varietal but also commonly used as a blending grape, Viognier is luxuriously rich and aromatic, elevating the flavours of wines both white and red 🥂🍷

Plantings have increased exponentially today, but they were almost wiped out in the 1960s due to challenging environmental factors 😨⚡

In 1728, Clement Chevallier started Aspall Cyder. While everyone around him said he should be growing cereals, Clement planted apple trees. Almost 300 years on, Aspall continue to pioneer British fine ‘cyder’ – spelt that way to indicate its quality and its single pressing of fruit – and the result is a dry and perfectly balanced sip.
