🏡 Winemaking & Story

Crafted by Domaine de Castelnau, this wine hails from the Picpoul de Pinet appellation in the Languedoc, where the indigenous grape variety Picpoul Blanc thrives on sun-drenched limestone soils near the Étang de Thau. ([turn0search11]turn0search1 The grapes are carefully harvested, pressed gently and fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve fresh aromatics and avoid oak influence.
