ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
What a great concept – a Tour of the South of France – get out the vélo and let’s join the touriste-routiers! But why be part of the peloton when you can attack from the front, and make wine which really matters and offer wine lovers liberté de choix? Hence, among the delights on offer here is a beautiful Picpoul de Pinet – the fish wine, a vivacious Sauvignon Blanc, an elegant and wonderfully balanced Viognier, a smooth and becoming Pinot Noir and a deliciously juicy Merlot.

ABOUT THE VINEYARD:
The grapes are grown for us by an eco-friendly producer, who uses sustainable agricultural practices in the vineyard. The vineyard sits at an elevated position, with clay and limestone soils, which impart elegance to the wine. As the daytime temperatures can be hot, harvesting is carried out at night, to keep the grapes cool, retain the freshness and avoid any oxidation of the berries.

THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes were harvested at optimal maturity levels and transported immediately to the winery where they were macerated and gently pressed in a pneumatic press. The juice was cold settled and fermented with selected yeasts at low temperatures in stainless steel vats, to preserve the freshness and aromatics of the Picpoul Blanc variety.

OUR TASTING NOTES:
A poised and refreshing Picpoul with lifted aromas of grapefruit, citrus, stone fruits and delicate notes of acacia flowers. Richly concentrated with a zingy acidity and a salty tang on the mouthwatering finish.

GRAPE VARIETY:
Picpoul Blanc 100%.
