Presentation
Presentation
Terram Solis Sauvignon Blanc is a dry, aromatic wine with a refreshingly crisp finish. Crafted from five carefully selected terroirs, it embodies the purity and intense aromatics that define the Sauvignon Blanc grape. This wine captivates with its freshness and minerality, showcasing the remarkable diversity of Languedoc’s terroirs.
Terroir
This Sauvignon Blanc draws its freshness and minerality from five distinct terroirs: the Bassin de Thau, Étang de Marseillette, the high valley of the Aude near Limoux, the western Aude region, and the slopes north of Béziers. These areas benefit from significant temperature variations between warm days and cool nights, enhancing citrus aromatics while adding richness and complexity to the wine.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested early in the morning or late at night to preserve their freshness. Following a quick pressing, alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures of 18-20°C, minimizing oxygen exposure. The wine is then aged on fine lees at low temperatures under a carbon dioxide atmosphere for several months. Malolactic fermentation is avoided to retain the wine’s vibrant acidity, and bottling is carried out swiftly.
