Domaine de Vedilhan Serica Viognier 2024
Domaine de Vedilhan Serica is a rich and expressive Viognier from the Languedoc , produced by the Fayet family in Moussan near Narbonne in partnership with Boutinot . With aromas of crystallised orange peel and a palate of ripe stone fruits enhanced by subtle barrel-fermented texture, this is a Viognier of genuine complexity, balance, and satisfaction. Why You'll Love It Boutinot has been collaborating with the Fayet family at Domaine de Vedilhan since 1999, working closely on harvest timing, blends, and vinification style to produce Viognier of exceptional quality. A brook runs around the estate, providing much-needed water in the hot Languedoc climate and giving the wines a freshness and vibrancy that sets them apart. The estate employs lutte raisonnee vineyard management and holds HVE3 certification for sustainable practices. This is Languedoc Viognier at its most refined and expressive. Vineyard and Production The terroir is a combination of limestone, sand, and sea shale, allowing the vines to dig deep for nutrients and produce concentrated, high-quality fruit. Grapes are picked at optimum ripeness, with two-thirds barrel-fermented in mature French oak to add subtle texture and richness without overpowering the fruit. The remaining third is vinified in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aromatic lift. Tasting Notes Aromas of crystallised orange peel with a powerful yet restrained palate. Barrel fermentation enhances texture and richness, allowing ripe stone fruits to shine through. The finish is complex, elegant, and well-balanced, with a lingering warmth that speaks of the terroir. Perfect Pairings Pairs beautifully with seared scallops, pan-fried tiger prawns with garlic, or aromatic Vietnamese dishes. Also excellent with creamy chicken dishes and mild spiced cuisine.

Ornezon Picpoul de Pinet 2024
Vignerons de Florensac is the cooperative at the heart of one of France's oldest Mediterranean vineyard sites, where cooling sea breezes from the nearby coast temper the summer heat and preserve the freshness and balance that make Picpoul de Pinet so distinctive. Sustainability is central to everything they do, from eco-friendly vineyard practices to solar-powered refrigeration in the cellar, all under the guidance of oenologist Roques Stephane. Why You'll Love It Picpoul de Pinet is one of the great underrated whites of southern France, and Ornezon is a benchmark example. Bracing, zesty, and mouth-wateringly fresh, it delivers everything you want from the variety: vibrant citrus, bright acidity, and a clean, refreshing finish that makes it one of the most food-friendly whites around. Night harvesting to protect the delicate aromatics, lees ageing for added richness, and solar-powered production make this a wine you can feel good about drinking, too. Vineyard & Production The vineyards are planted on elevated sites with clay and limestone soils in the Florensac terroir, farmed sustainably without chemical intervention. To protect the grapes' delicate aromatics, harvesting takes place at night when temperatures are cooler, preventing oxidation and preserving fruit integrity. After gentle pneumatic pressing, fermentation takes place in stainless steel at low temperatures using cultured yeasts. The wine is then aged on fine lees with regular stirring to enhance richness and roundness. Natural pest management and solar-powered refrigeration complete a genuinely green production process. Tasting Notes Pale yellow with green hues. Aromas of grapefruit and citrus leap from the glass, fresh and vibrant, leading to a palate of bracing citrus and ripe stone fruit. Bright acidity ensures a clean, mouth-watering finish that is as refreshing as it is versatile. Perfect Pairings A classic partner for oysters, moules mariniere, grilled sea bass, ceviche, prawns, and lighter seafoo
