Apricot, fennel, white flowers and a gentle touch of aniseed lead into a rounded, elegant palate kept lively by fresh acidity. Five months on fine lees adds subtle texture without dulling its bright fruit. It is a versatile choice for anyone who enjoys aromatic, food-friendly whites with a little more shape and character. Serve lightly chilled with grilled sardines, sea bream, roast vegetables or a relaxed seafood lunch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown mainly on stony marl soils and clay-limestone slopes, which provide a steady water supply and warm quickly in spring. Harvest takes place mechanically at night to limit oxidation and preserve aromatic freshness. After complete destemming, the Viognier receives a light skin maceration before gentle pressing and cold settling. Fermentation is carried out at low temperature in stainless-steel vats, with the wine protected from oxygen, followed by five months of ageing on fine lees. The finished wine is bright golden yellow, with apricot, fennel and floral aromas, a rounded yet fresh palate and a subtly aniseed finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the experts say:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling, 91 Points (2023)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EuroVintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53182032249199,"sku":"100738","price":137.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/2252\/6319\/files\/ChapoutierCotesduRhoneBellerucheBlanc2023.jpg?v=1783707461","url":"https:\/\/stolencellar.co.nz\/products\/chapoutier-cotes-du-rhone-belleruche-blanc","provider":"Stolen Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
