WINE DESCRIPTION
Crozes-Hermitage La Matiniere from Ferraton is a distinguished white wine crafted entirely from Marsanne grapes, sourced from the limestone-rich soils of the Mercurol district. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are carefully pressed, followed by a cold settling of the must over 48 hours. The fermentation process is meticulously managed at controlled temperatures of 18° to 20°C. Matured for approximately 10 months on fine lees, the wine develops a bright pale yellow hue with green tints. It exudes aromas of acacia, fresh flowers, and roasted almonds, leading to a soft, fresh palate marked by notes of white peaches, culminating in a very fruity profile.

ORIGINS
Winery: Ferraton Père & Fils
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
