Les Argelières Viognier, 2021, Languedoc-Roussillon

Made to our exacting specifications, Les Argelieres is a unique range of modern, fruity varietal wines from the Languedoc, made with the aim of showing the elegance, subtlety and perfect varietal 'signature' of each grape variety as planted in the warm vineyards of Southern France. Grown on cooler hill sites and with a yield that is cropped and limted to concentrate the ripe apricot and peaches character of Viognier, and balanced on a zesty, fresh acidity that enlivens the palate.

Tasting Notes:

Bright yellow with green hues, apricot and mango aromas mixed up with a whiff of rose petals and almonds. A juicy palate with herbal hints and a lingering finish.

Specification

Vinification The ripe grapes are harvested at night when temperature is cool preserving the variety's lovely flavours. In the cellar the grapes are destemmed and pressed under inert gas to prevent from oxidation. The juice macerates for a few days at very low temperature, and is stirred every day on its lees adding complexity and pure aromas to the must. After fermentation, the wine stays on its fine yeast creating the velvety texture.
