Viognier is a beautiful grape that is known to produce musky, honeysuckle wines, with plenty of floral notes, and good amounts of fruit.  It is a particularly fickle grape, prone to low and unpredictable yields, and is not a good candidate for early harvests.  While it can be picked late, and turned into a dessert wine, this is an extremely uncommon practice.  Viognier is meant to be consumed young, and will lose many of it’s unique floral traits as ages.
