SAINT AURIOL GRAND BLANC IGP PAYS D'OC

Soil types: The vineyards are located on the upper tiers bordering the Mediterranean coastline, along the Cevennes terraces. The area enjoys a Mediterranean and hills climate which promotes development of aromas in the grapes during ripening, producing a range of wines with varied profiles. Vineyard management: The greatest care is taken with vineyard management and the health of the fruit. The vines are trained using the Guyot system. Winemaking: The grapes are picked by machine and destemmed before the juice is clarified at low temperatures of 4-7°C. These very clear juices are then fermented, producing excellent extraction of very pure aromas. The wines are stored at low temperatures. Tasting notes: A blend of Mediterranean aromatics, fruitiness and elegant aromas. The palate is full-bodied yet fresh and persistent. Drinking temperature: 12°C. Food pairings: Makes the perfect aperitif or partner for a number of starters, cruditees and salads, as well as seafood tagliatelle, king prawns flambéed with pastis and sheep's cheeses.
