Clos des Fées "Grenache Blanc Vieilles Vignes" 2022 dry white

Technical sheet written by the domaine :

90% Grenache blanc, 10% Grenache gris. Made from the oldest vines of the estate (over 100 years old) in the "Mas Farines" sector. Complemented by old Grenache gris from mixed plots, planted with various grape varieties.

Clay-limestone soils, altitude ranging from 200 to 400 meters, with dominant north and west orientations. Harvest chosen to seek the expression of ripe fruit while maintaining freshness and a thirst-quenching aspect.

Manual harvest, transported in refrigerated truck.

Pneumatic pressing of whole bunches at low pressure.Fermentation is slow in stainless steel tanks (Grenache blanc) and old barrels (Grenache gris) with regular bâtonnage. Aging on lees for 5 to 8 months. Fining and filtration before bottling in spring.

A rich and powerful wine, it presents exceptional sweetness, even when dry. Delicious upon bottling, it closes up and then reaches its full potential as a great wine 3 to 6 years after the harvest.
