What makes this white wine so special? The grapes are grown in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. This region is currently experiencing a major revival and is home to beautiful wineries. The Mediterranean climate provides the grapes with plenty of sunshine, and the coastal location provides sufficient coolness to slow the ripening process. This allows the wines to mature perfectly in peace. When the grapes are ripe, they are harvested very early in the morning. The reason for an early morning harvest is that the grapes are still "sleeping." This allows them to retain their wonderful freshness and keep the skins intact until pressing. Harvesting is done entirely by hand, ensuring that only the best grapes are selected for pressing through strict selection. After vinification, this delicious white wine is aged for several months in used French oak barrels to add even more suppleness to this exceptional wine.
Curious about the taste? We certainly are! The color is a beautiful straw yellow with a golden sheen. The aroma reveals a pleasant Viognier bouquet of flowers, yellow and white fruit, and a pleasant vanilla note. On the palate, this Delbeaux Premium Viognier is pure and refined. Beautiful nuances of pear, apricot, melon, and mango create a beautiful interplay on the palate. The finish is very soft, smooth, yet pleasantly long with a light vanilla finish. It's no wonder that well-known restaurants, including a top restaurant in Maastricht, are so keen to work with this white wine!
