This wine is 100% Viognier
The vines are all trained using the Guyot method. No weed-killers are used in the vineyards which are ploughed instead. Manure is used as an alternative to chemical fertilisers.
The grapes are machine-harvested at night and are
completely de-stalked before undergoing a cold maceration period prior to fermentation. The free-run juices are then carefully selected, before the grapes undergo a pneumatic pressing and fermentation at low temperature to retain maximum aromatic characteristics. The wine is aged in vat on the fine lees before bottling.
The colour is pale gold in colour with green reflections. Apricot blossom with a hint of citrus fruits on the nose. Open and full-bodied, yet elegant, with a long finish. Lots of fruit flavours, in particular apricot, pear and lemon blossom.
