Viticulture

Viognier grapes are harvested from the cool, coastal vineyards around the Etang de Thau, considered the second largest lake in France. It is here some of the most distinctive Viognier is grown and crafted to display purity of fruit and a distinctive 'goût de terroir'.

Winemaking

The aromatic Viognier produces its aromas at a certain stage of maturation. The winemaking team taste the grapes in August, to choose the right day to harvest. Post-harvest the grapes undergo a short skin-contact maceration. Then, the juice, after a delicate pressing and meticulous off-settling, ferments at low temperature.

Oak Ageing

No oak ageing

Tasting Note

Enticingly aromatic with characteristic exotic stone fruit and honeysuckle, our dawn-picked Viognier is rich yet refreshingly dry.
