100% Picpoul de Pinet
From sustainably farmed vineyards near the Bassin of Thau, the vines face the morning sun. Dry and cold wind blows away the clouds and dries out the soils. This lack of water is partially balanced by the sea sprays coming from the Bassin of Thau, the region’s oyster capital. This terroir gives birth to elegant and aromatic white wines. Picpoul de Pinet is a late ripening grape and harvest takes place end September, into October. Night harvested in order to preserve aromas and freshness. Im mediate pressing and cold settling at a very low temperature. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is aged on the fine lees with occasional batonnage in order to bring richness and roundness. Great attention is paid to protecting the wine with a high level of CO2 throughout until bottling, allowing a lower level of sulphites to be used.
