Sauvignon Blanc

Product Description

Producer: Claude Vialade
Origin Occitania

Appellation : I GP Pays d’Oc

Wine style: Light bodied dry white wine with 12% ABV

Varietal range: This white wine is a single varietal Sauvignon.

Soil types: The vineyards are located behind the area of Béziers. Deep soils promote development of aromas in the grapes during the ripening phase, producing a varied range of nosy aromas typical of Sauvignon.

Vineyard management: The vines are trained on wires and harvested by machine or by hand in some rigorously selected vineyards. Yields total 70 hl/ha.

Winemaking: The grapes are harvested by machine and by hand by night to benefit from the cool night time temperatures. The fruit is destemmed and undergoes short skin-contact maceration. The juice is clarified at low temperatures (7°C). Temperatures are regularly controlled throughout the fermentation process. Small amounts of yeast can be added at the start of fermentation to improve aroma development.

Tasting notes: A fresh, nervy wine with a beautiful golden colour tinged with green. Floral with notes of citrus fruits and freshly-cut grass.
Drink preferably within the year following bottling.

Drinking temperature: 10 to 12°C

Food pairings: This wine makes the perfect choice of aperitif, served well-chilled, and also pairs with fishes and seafood as well as white meats. Similarly, it can be enjoyed on its own when reading a good book or chatting with friends.
