Victor’s picks at a glance
We’ve partnered with Pop Up Wine to bring you this curated list of Viognier to enhance your learning experience.
We picked bottles from Victor's homeland and beyond. Solo Viognier is playing shy in Singapore right now, so Victor has slipped into a few blends, with Viognier still bringing the perfume.

1. Great value-for-money
Les Centenaires : Costières Blanc "La Bergerie de Nîmes" 2020
Costières de Nîmes, Rhône, France
$38 / bottle · Sale price
Price may change after the sale ends.
Victor says: "This is a Costières de Nîmes white blend where I am just a tenth of the mix, alongside Marsanne, Roussanne and Vermentino, but I still helped make it special. Floral blossoms, fresh pineapple and pear, with real weight on the palate. The 2017 vintage picked up 91 points from Jeb Dunnuck, and this one scored 9.5 out of 10 from Monvin Français. Real quality without breaking the bank."
Pairs with: Roast chicken, grilled prawns, or a dish with almonds
2. For an easy weekend white
Domaine Duseigneur : La Goutte du Seigneur Côtes du Rhône Blanc 2022
Rhône, France

Victor's pick in Flamboyant Trio Wine Box
Victor says: "A third of this blend is me, alongside Grenache and Bourboulenc, and I think we make a great team. Ripe melon and white peach up front, with wild meadow grasses and a touch of salinity on the finish. Bernard farms it organically and biodynamically. Perfect for a ‘wine’ down on a slow Sunday afternoon."
Pairs with: Roast chicken, herbed goat's cheese, or grilled white fish
3. For a special occasion
Clonakilla : Shiraz Viognier 2022
Canberra District, Australia
$114 / bottle
Victor says: "Here's a trick worth knowing. Clonakilla adds a splash of Viognier to its Shiraz, about 5%, and ferments them together. That little bit of me lifts the perfume and makes the wine feel silkier. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave it 97 points."
Pairs with: Roast lamb, duck breast, or charcuterie
Taste his entire tribe
Flamboyant Trio Wine Box
Victor says: "My Viognier blend is in here, with Gregory’s Gewurztraminer and Rainart’s Riesling."
