- Viognier - A very perfumed and rich grape. Can be found as both varietal and as a blend. Viognier produces excellent wines with a long length and balance. The trademark characters are such as violets, peaches, apricots, apples and pears. Bitterness is almost always present with low acidity level.
- Virginia - Grapes have been planted there since the early settlers came to Jamestown in 1607, making the first wine into the new World from indegenous grapes. Thomas Jefferson was given full credit for importing fine French wines to his estate in Monticello. Successful wines are now made in Virginia made from Norton, Touriga, Petit Verdot and Viognier.
