Food Pairing
- The Viognier does well with all things surrounding the orient such as Indian korma and other mild to medium aromatic curries, breyani, traditional South African bobotie and pickled fish. It has a particular affinity with rosemary, so much so that you could manipulate almost any dish by adding sufficient rosemary.
