點擊次數：1453

The first varietal Viognier is the 2016 Miriade, fermented with selected yeasts mostly in stainless steel but with 20% of the volume fermented in oak barrel and aged with lees for six months. There are some exotic notes intermixed with aromas of yellow fruit and a balsamic touch. The palate is soft, with lowish acidity and a slightly bitter finish. 15,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2017.

They have no less than five hectares of Viognier pruned in the Smart-Dyson system in their estate, and they produce two whites, the first of which, the 2013 Miriade, is bottled completely unoaked. It's very unlikely to find Viognier in Toledo and this one aims for a more fruit-driven white, but lacking the exuberance of the best examples from Condrieu, here the nose is more shy, you really have to swirl the glass like crazy to reach those telltale notes of apricot that are under a good layer of underbrush and Mediterranean herbs, and some leesy, grassy tones. The palate is medium-bodied with little acidity, a shortcoming from the grape, which leaves a slightly flat sensation with a warm finish. 22,000 bottles were produced.
