Information about "Saronsberg Viognier 2022"
The Saronsberg Viognier 2022 captivates with its delicate straw-yellow hue and enchants the palate with alluring aromas of honey, pear, and apricot, intertwined with floral nuances and subtle spices in the background. On the palate, it reveals a beautifully opulent, full-bodied, and silky texture complemented by gentle spice and notes of yellow fruits. A hint of oak spices caresses the mouth, perfectly balanced by a refreshing and pleasant finish.
These grapes were handpicked in the early morning, cooled to 4 °C, and pressed whole bunch. Only the free-run juice obtained from the initial gentle pressing was used for further production. The juice rested at a controlled 5 °C for 48 hours. 25% of the juice underwent spontaneous fermentation, while the remaining portion was inoculated with yeasts (Vin 13 and CY3079), then filled into first, second, and third-fill barrels from French Allier oak (500 l). Fermentation lasted an additional 21 days at a regulated temperature between 13°C and 18°C, followed by 11 months of aging on its fine lees, with malolactic fermentation suppressed to preserve the nuanced character of the wine. The wine was then stabilized and lightly filtered before bottling.
