Production
Haute Vallée de l’Aude is an area where altitude plays a vital role in tempering the climate. Separated from the Mediterranean by a range of coastal mountains whose elevation and gradient prompt higher diurnal ranges and allow cool winds from the Atlantic to blow through the vines. The region’s climate resembles South-West France more than the other hot, dry coastal areas of Languedoc. After being picked early in the morning, grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the intensity and varietal character of the wine.
Tasting notes
This Sauvignon is a fine example of what a cooler climate region has to offer. With refreshing notes of citrus, gooseberry, and grapefruit. It’s a vibrant and precise wine with a lot of character.
Food match
A wonderful accompaniment to herb-driven Thai or Vietnamese sauces over chicken, tofu, or fish. It also pairs beautifully with feta or chèvre cheese.
