WINE DESCRIPTION
This wine is crafted from 100% Viognier grapes grown on clay, limestone, and gravel soils. The production process involves a gentle pneumatic press and low-temperature fermentation, which is halted early to preserve 10 grams of residual sugar, creating a medium-sweet profile. It is briefly aged on fine lees and bottled early to maintain its freshness. The wine presents a pale gold hue, with rich, fresh aromas of peach, apricot, citrus, and lemon. The palate mirrors the nose with concentrated fruit flavors and hints of honeysuckle and violets, balancing sweetness with fresh acidity for a harmonious tasting experience.

ORIGINS
Winery: Château Saint Nabor
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking.
The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.CUSTOMER RATING
