Grape(s): Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Muscat
Country: France
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Organic: No

ABV: 13%
Tasting Notes: Clear, pale orange colour. Intense aromas of bitter oranges, dried flowers and slight nutty hints. Fresh, vivid and well-balanced, with a nice acidity; the aromas carry through to the palate. The finish is long, intense, and complex.
Winemaking: Machine picking at night to reduce the risk of oxidation. The grapes were directly put into a concrete tank as for the vinification of a red wine. Pre-fermentation maceration at a cool temperature for one week. Temperature maintained at 4°C with daily pumping over. The alcoholic fermentation was then launched at a temperature of 18°C. 5 days maceration with daily pumping-over. The grapes were then pressed and the press juice was blended with the free-run juice to end the fermentation. Ageing on fine lees until bottling.
