Viognier Terroir d'Altitude - Fortant de France

The Viognier Pays d'OC IGP Terroir de Collines of Fortant de France shimmers in the glass in a buttercup yellow and unfolds a complex bouquet with the aromas of apricots, vine blossoms and tropical fruits.

This white wine from Languedoc presents a rich, supple and smooth palate with notes of tropical fruit that linger long.

Vinification for the Viognier Terroir de Collines from Fortant de France 

After harvesting, the grapes for this single-varietal Viognier receive a special treatment: they are carefully destemmed, the pressing pressure gradually increases and the must is regularly brought into contact with the lees over a period of 2 days. This ensures that the aromatic potential of the grapes is fully exploited. The musts from the single vineyards are then vinified separately and aged in French oak barrels to make them even richer and smoother. All fermentation processes are carried out at low temperatures so that no aromatic substances are lost and the wine retains its freshness. 

The 6-month aging takes place on the lees, with regular stirring. Afterwards, the base wines are tasted and blended into a single varietal cuvée.
