Les Bertholets Winery is known for its unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship in every bottle it produces. Their dedication to excellence begins in the vineyards, where carefully selected grapes are grown under ideal conditions to ensure optimal ripeness and flavor development. By using traditional and innovative winemaking techniques, such as hand harvesting and controlled fermentation, they preserve and enhance the natural characteristics of each grape variety.
After the grapes are harvested by hand, they are carefully pressed. The juice then undergoes controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Once fermented, some of the wine is aged in oak barrels, where it is exposed to the subtle influences of the wood. This aging adds extra complexity and structure to the wine.
This wine radiates a bright golden yellow color. Upon opening the bottle, you're greeted by a delightful aroma. It's brimming with tropical fruit notes like peach, apricot, and a hint of blossom. The palate of Les Bertholets Reserve Viognier is harmonious, with velvety textures and lush tropical fruit notes. Aging in oak barrels adds complexity to the wine, with subtle hints of vanilla and a hint of butter, resulting in a full and rounded palate. What truly sets this wine apart is the elegant balance between the lush fruit and the refreshing acidity, which culminates in a clean and lively finish.
