Details
This is a classic Viognier from a unique region which normally sticks to producing red wines. With peaches and apricots driving this wine, it is fleshy and carries plenty of weight as well as a hint of spice.

Château Canet is a modern winery located in the heart of the Languedoc, in the renowned region of Minervois. Floris and Victoria have owned the estate and winery since 2007 after spending time in Burgundy. The estate, and name of the winery dates back to 1126 and today is used as a site for quintessential French winery weddings. Floris likes to keep a modern edge to the winery, focusing on bright styles of wines that mix in seamlessly with the traditional Minervois classics. The Domaine Canet range drew the eye of our wine buying team when tasting these delights in France. They are a range of single variety wines from the family estate that are smartly packaged and show clean and modern winemaking. Too often, you have regions that only focus on traditional styles however these wines buck that trend, with some Malbec, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also making up the mix aside from classic Syrah and Cabernet Merlot. We hope you enjoy the first look at these wines on Aussie shores.

Pairing guide
Aromatic and smooth with whispers of apricot, honeysuckle, and peach, this Viognier is made for dishes that bring a bit of flair. Pair it with spicy prawn laksa, a coconut curry, or Moroccan-style roast veggies with ras el hanout — the wine’s lush fruit and floral notes love playing with spice and aromatic herbs. It also works wonders with roast chicken and stone fruit chutney or a soft washed-rind cheese if you’re cheeseboarding. Elegant but exotic — just like the wine.
