- A zesty, floral, and refreshing wine from Picpoul de Pinet, bursting with lemony and citrus aromas with a lovely texture and bright, uplifting finish. The carefully selected grapes were received into the winery via gravity and immediately pressed to extract the juice. In stainless steel tanks, fermentation occurred with natural, wild yeasts on the grape’s skin at low temperatures of 14 to 15°C. The wine was aged in stainless steel tanks for five months, with monthly stirring of the lees (known as ‘bâtonnage’ in French) imparted texture and complexity to the wine.

Winery | The ‘La Serre’ vineyard is located in the AOP appellation of Picpoul de Pinet, between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountainous foothills, surrounded by garrigue. The Piquepoul vines are planted in clay-calcareous soils, which offer cooling and water retention properties to nourish the vines throughout the ripening period. With its hot, dry summers and relatively mild winters, the Mediterranean climate is an ideal environment where the vines flourish. The high number of sunshine hours results in powerful, rich, and aromatic wines, which are also fresh due to the tempering effects of the maritime influence from the Mediterranean Sea and the Étang de Thau. The ripening of the grapes is very slow, which enables much freshness and fineness to be retained. It is generally the last parcel of vines to be harvested, which takes place in the cool of the night. The vineyard is certified organic, and sustainable practices are employed. Hedges surround the vines to protect them from pesticide treatments in the neighbouring fields and provide a wildlife refuge, enhancing biodiversity and creating a balance. |
