Presentation
Presentation
Want something a little lighter to drink over the summer without compromising on taste and without going completely ‘dry’? Partly in defiance to the recent norms and partly out of respect for the old ways, Vincent & François seek to return to the origins of winemaking and to offer more approachable and balanced wines that are low in alcohol.
Terroir
The fruit for this wine was carefully selected from early ripening Sauvignon Blanc vineyard sites - nearby the waters of the Thau lagoon, that express ripe flavors at lower sugar levels.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested very early in the morning, even before daybreak and transported rapidly to the winery for pressing. Alcoholic fermentation takes place quickly in stainless steel tanks with temperatures maintained between 18 and 20°C.

Tasting
Soft and easy to drink, with notes of green plum, lime citrus and fresh green grass throughout coupled with an edge of flinty minerality and asparagus keeping things framed and focused. Round with medium acidity and a crisp, clean finish.
