My wine recommendation for May-April is a real treat!

Made by Rideau winery, this delicious white blend is made on the estate’s nutrient-rich ancient riverbed soils.

Viognier has long been one of the most iconic and revered varietals of Rideau.

Fermented and aged in neutral French oak, it shows complex and pleasing elements of dried plantain, toasted coconut, and white chocolate, with a luscious mouthfeel that is supported by surprising acidic clarity.

At once immediately pleasing and structurally age-worthy, this wine can be enjoyed now, but you’ll also want to cellar a few bottles and watch it evolve over the years.

Cheers! To your health.
