Terroir:
The vineyards for this Viognier are situated in the Pays d'Oc IGP, Languedoc-Roussillon region. The soils are primarily clay-limestone, which provide excellent drainage and contribute to the wine’s vibrant acidity and mineral characteristics. The Mediterranean climate, combined with cooler nights, enhances the aromatic profile and freshness of the grapes.
Viticulture:
The vines are cultivated with sustainable practices, emphasizing minimal intervention and respect for the environment. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve their aromatic intensity and freshness.
Winemaking:
The winemaking process includes gentle pneumatic pressing of the grapes to extract pure juice. The must is cold-stabilized to preserve its fresh aromas, followed by fermentation at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. No malolactic fermentation is conducted, which helps maintain the wine's crisp acidity and vibrant fruit flavors. The wine is then aged on fine lees for additional complexity.
Tasting Notes:
Casa Saint Pierre Viognier showcases a bouquet of floral aromas, white peach, and apricot. On the palate, it offers rich flavors of stone fruits, with a touch of honey and a subtle hint of spice. The finish is long and balanced, with a refreshing acidity that makes it a versatile and enjoyable wine.
