Delightful floral and fruit notes mingle in 2020 Sous L'Ocean Viognier by EthicDrinks, a wine as lovely as a summer’s day. Produced by sustainable winemaking methods, this dry French white is as good in the glass as it is good for the Earth. Fans of fuller-bodied white varietals will enjoy Viognier, known for its perfumed bouquet. This wine opens with delicate white flowers and exotic fruits. On the palate, lusciously ripe mango and tangerine notes are accented with sweet honey and hints of minerality. A soft mouthfeel reveals flavorful complexity, leaving a smooth finish. Viognier is originally from the South of France, and grapes were grown in Pays d’Oc vineyards recognized with a sustainable agriculture certification (Haute Valeur Environnementale, or HVE) from the French Ministry of Agriculture. HVE is the program’s highest and most stringent certification label. With a pleasant Mediterranean climate, Pays d’Oc is ideal for producing grapes that are expressive of the region’s high-quality terroir. This Viognier is part of the Sous L’Ocean line from EthicDrinks. Sous L’Ocean is inspired by efforts to help marine mammals and endangered species, reflecting EthicDrinks’ passion for protecting the planet and making the world of wine more environmentally friendly. Based in Bordeaux, France, EthicDrinks offers fruity, flavorful wines from vine-growers that incorporate eco-conscious practices in winemaking. This bottle is free of plastic, made from recycled or natural materials, and is 100% recyclable. As a certified B Corporation, EthicDrinks is committed to social and environmental responsibility and using business as a power for good. Beyond sharing quality wines, EthicDrinks partners with conservation-focused organizations like The World Wide Fund for Nature France (WWF France). 2020 Sous L'Ocean Viognier by EthicDrinks is perfect alongside a plate of hard and soft cheeses, fruits, and nuts. It will also complement chicken, pork, seafood, root vegetables, and spicy Asian dishes.

A Good One

"We are talking about a good Viognier: not a shy wine but so refreshing and enjoyable. Beautiful brilliant color."

— Jackie (4/5)

Refreshing! One of my favorite summer wines!

"Very refreshing and easy to drink! This is one of my favorite summer wines!"

— Ashley (5/5)

Got this as gift and bought 15 more

"When my wife first tasted it, she was like "meh" I told her to wait a bit and let it warm up a litle coming out of the refrigator. Boom, that worked. The wine blossmed with lots of floral notes in the nose with fruit. Really nice effort here. The wine is blanced and delightful for the summer and easy drinking. We liked it so much we bought another 15 bottles."

— Flash (5/5)

surprised to be a disappointment

"Better when super cold, but still had a finish that neither of us liked. I tried some more today, and maybe just not having the right food with it. A disappointment, especially after the other great reviews. bummer, as I bought 3 bottles."

— Lady (2/5)
