Intemporal Blanc [Organic] 2022
Herault IGP, France
Grenache Gris (100%) · 2022 · 14% abv
Intemporal, from Grenache Gris vines rooted since 1951, reflects the estate’s heritage and patient winemaking. Pale yellow with silver highlights, it offers a fresh, vibrant nose of pineapple, green apple, and delicate spring florals. The palate is lively and chiselled, with subtle minerality framing a clean, precise finish. Elegant, expressive, and crafted to be savoured slowly, it’s a wine of clarity, finesse, and character.
Production
Manual harvest with strict fruit selection was followed by gentle pressing. Fermentation in stainless steel at cool temperatures preserved freshness, while ageing on fine lees built texture. No oak influence was used, highlighting purity and minerality.
Vinyard
The vineyard sits at 350 m in the heart of the garrigue, where clay-limestone soils dominate. Old vines with deep roots access minerals and moisture, producing naturally low yields. The Mediterranean climate is tempered by altitude, giving hot sunny days and cool nights. Organic farming practices encourage biodiversity, and meticulous hand harvesting ensures only the best fruit is selected.
Pairing
Pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, or grilled shrimp, and has the weight to match truffle-based dishes or land-and-sea pairings like monkfish with citrus or scallops with foie gras.
