Description
Place: Roussillon, France
Grape: Muscat Petit Grains + Macabeu
Vibe: Saline
The grapes come from formerly abandoned, now recultivated vineyards, at 500 to 600 meters altitude. Fermented whole, no destemming here, before time in stainless steel. After gentle pressing, the wine ages eight months on lees in large 2,000-liter concrete tanks. Bottled unfiltered, unfined, and with no added sulfites. This is herbal and zesty. Firmly tropical but with that unmistakable garrigue character always lingering in the backdrop. The finish is pure salt, and at its modest ABV, this one flows far too easily. ABV: 10%
