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.

Vineyard and Winery

The fruit is sourced from carefully selected vineyards in Gascony. This area has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, with the majority of rainfall occurring during the spring and autumn. Dry, continental winds from the northwest bring cooling influences to the vineyards, which help to reduce disease pressure. This wind is interspersed with warm winds from the south, which bring moisture to the vines. The combination of terroir and climate result in a fresh and expressive Sauvignon Blanc.

Picked at aromatic maturity, the grapes were destemmed and crushed before undergoing a gentle pressing and cold settling of the juice. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks at 18°C to maintain freshness and aromatic intensity. The wine was made in an unoaked style to showcase the vibrancy of the Sauvignon Blanc variety.
