Crushed & Cured
Les Caves de Richemer, Terret Blanc, Languedoc, France, 2023
Pale lemon in colour. Aromas of bright citrus and stone fruit leap out of the glass and marry with subtle hints of orange blossom. On the palate, a rich texture is balanced by a refreshing acidity which carries the ripe fruit flavours onto the crisp finish.
Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were gently pressed in a pneumatic press to yield a very clear must. The must was then left to settle for 24 hours before being racked off the gross lees and transferred to temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. Fermentation at low temperatures ensured that the vibrant aromatics of the Terret were preserved in the final wine. Unoaked, the wine was kept in stainless steel until the final blend was assembled and the wine was fined and filtered before bottling in spring 2024.
