Saison de la Vigne Blanc 2024
France, France
Colombard, Ugni Blanc · 2024 · 11.5% abv
Bright, zesty and vivacious, this Gascon white bursts with citrus, grapefruit and tropical fruit aromas. The palate is crisp and refreshing with layers of melon and lime, balanced by lively acidity and a clean, mineral-driven finish that makes it effortlessly drinkable.
Production
Grapes are harvested early to preserve freshness and undergo 15 hours of cool skin maceration before fermentation. A cool, temperature-controlled ferment enhances aromatics and fruit purity. The wine rests on its lees for two months, adding depth and complexity before bottling.
Vineyard
Sourced from vineyards in Gascony, where a mix of sunny days and cool Atlantic breezes helps retain vibrant acidity and aromatic intensity. Clay-limestone soils contribute texture and minerality, while the region’s long growing season allows for slow, balanced ripening.
Pairing
A versatile aperitif-style white that’s excellent with prawn cocktail, grilled shellfish, or fresh summer salads. Its bright acidity and tropical fruit profile also make it a refreshing companion to light Asian dishes and citrus-led starters.
