- It is a succulent wine with a full flavour, retaining the dried apricot and fresh ginger characteristics typical of a fine Viognier. It is exquisite and expressive with toasty oak notes. This Condrieu displays all the hallmarks of an excellent Viognier. Complex stone fruit characters of fresh peach and apricot combine with nuances of exotic fruit, mineral notes, and a delicate saline note. Exquisite.
The grapes were manually harvested at full maturity of 13 to 14 degrees and then meticulously sorted and pressed. After a static temperature-controlled must settling, the clear juice was fermented in 225-litre barriques, lasting approximately four to five weeks. The wine was matured on its fine lees in oak barrels, of which 25% were new, for 12 months, with regular bâtonnage (lees stirring), imparted complexity and volume to the resulting wine.
