Poivre d’Ane (Languedoc, France)

A blend of 50% Vermentino, 30% Grenache Blanc, & 20% Roussane. Following harvest, the grapes are pressed and sulphited slightly (3g/hl). Settling is fixed at 14 degrees celcius to ensure must remains untouched and protected from oxidization. Fermentation is processed with native yeast and malolactic fermentation is eased thanks to a lower concentration of sulphites. To put it in a nutshell Poivre d’Ane reaches a natural balance. Maturing in stainless steel tanks. A wine for those who like rounded and fruity southern wines. A lot of white-fleshed fruits, citrus fruits, a touch of bitterness and acidity to bring freshness.
