Why We Love It
We love Metamorphika Viognier because it takes a grape often known for perfume and weight and turns it into something mineral, precise and surprisingly elegant.
Description
Metamorphika Viognier is a monovarietal Viognier from Costador, fermented and aged with the clarity that defines the Metamorphika line. The wine shows discreet minerality, depth and aromatic complexity without heaviness. It is a reminder that Viognier can be both expressive and clean when handled with precision.

About the Producer
Costador, led by Joan Franquet, works with old vineyards across Catalonia to create wines of striking personality and precision. The Metamorphika range is immediately recognisable for its beautiful ceramic bottles and artwork, but the true achievement is the quality inside: wines that are precise, clean, expressive and deeply gastronomic. Costador proves that low-intervention wine can be both characterful and exceptionally polished, which is why the wines have found their way into some of Catalonia's finest restaurants, including Michelin-starred tables.
