5 O'Clock Wines Viognier is a ripe, generous white from the Languedoc — all fleshy peach and apricot, balanced by a crisp green apple acidity that keeps it fresh and moreish. Made by the Alma Cersius cooperative near Beziers, it's the kind of sun-drenched southern French white that makes you feel like you're on holiday, even if you're in your kitchen on a Wednesday.
Viognier is one of those grapes that delivers instant pleasure — aromatic, generous, full of ripe stone fruit flavour. This one from the Languedoc nails the balance: you get all that fleshy peach and apricot character, but the cool Cers wind that sweeps in from the Pyrenees gives the grapes enough freshness to stop things getting heavy. The result is a white wine that feels rich on the palate but finishes clean and crisp. At around 13%, it's got enough body to stand up to food without losing its drinkability.
The Alma Cersius cooperative sits near Beziers in the Languedoc, where 150 growers tend vineyards on pebble and alluvial clay soils between the Mediterranean and the foothills of the Pyrenees. The unique thing about this spot is the Cers — a cold, dry wind that rolls in from the west and meets the warm sea breeze. It keeps the vines healthy, extends ripening and creates wines with that combination of southern warmth and unexpected freshness that makes the Languedoc so exciting right now.
Good Viognier from the Northern Rhone — where the grape is famous — will cost you £25 or more. This Languedoc version delivers similar aromatic punch and stone fruit richness at half the price. The label is simple and inviting, and the name does exactly what it says — this is a wine for that moment when the day shifts gear. Pop the cork at 5 o'clock and you're sorted.
5 O'Clock Wines are made by the Alma Cersius cooperative in the Languedoc — a collective of around 150 ecologically minded growers farming 1,200 hectares of vines near Beziers.

Viognier is a white grape variety most famous in the Northern Rhone (Condrieu), but also thriving in the Languedoc and other warm-climate regions. It produces aromatic, full-bodied whites with stone fruit flavours, floral notes and a rounded, generous texture. If you enjoy Chardonnay but want something more aromatic, or find Sauvignon Blanc too sharp, Viognier sits perfectly in between.
