Description

Villion Blanc de l'Atlantique 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: A unique blend of 75% Viognier, 12.5% Chenin Blanc, and 12.5% Chardonnay

Taste Profile: Intense and captivating entry of pure, pristine stone-fruit characteristics, dominated by ripe peach and sun-kissed apricot nuances. Explosive layers of salted pawpaw, clove and cinnamon spice dusted on canned white pear. Subtle Turkish delight perfume completes the potpourri of flavour.

Winemaking Process: The wine was barrel aged in small French oak barrels for 7 months to emphasize the enticing perfume of the blend, while the Chenin was skin fermented to add a silky texture to the wine

Lush & Tropical Whites

Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.

Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
