Pictorial Viognier 2023
Pays d'Oc IGP, France
Viognier (100%) · 2023 · 13% abv
Fresh and expressive, this Viognier opens with bright citrus and stone fruit aromas before revealing layers of peach, apricot and a touch of honeysuckle. The palate is rounded and textured yet lively, with subtle oak complexity and a long, clean finish that leaves you reaching for another sip.
Production
The core of the blend comes from unoaked parcels fermented cool to retain freshness, complemented by a small portion matured in oak for additional body and texture. Careful blending achieves a harmonious balance of freshness, fruit purity and subtle richness.
Vineyard
The wine is crafted from parcels near Narbonne in the Languedoc, where Mediterranean warmth ensures full ripeness while cooling coastal breezes help preserve freshness and aromatic lift. A combination of sandy and limestone soils provides both fruit concentration and balanced acidity.
Pairing
A natural match for seafood — think grilled prawns, crab linguine or baked sea bass. It also pairs beautifully with creamy chicken dishes, roasted root vegetables or soft, washed-rind cheeses.
