2020 Domaine de Vedilhan Viognier ‘Serica’, Pays d’Oc

£11.75 inc. VAT

Elaborately textured, full-flavoured Viognier. The wine is aptly named after the Latin name for silk, ‘Serica’. In the 14th century, silk production or sericulture was as widespread in this region as viticulture.

All good wine is part-made in the vineyard as well as in the cellar. This is especially true of Serica Viognier, where the grower nurtures his Viognier vines producing healthy grapes at optimum ripeness. Domaine de Vedilhan (pronounced ‘Domaine de Ved-ee-ohn’) is the estate of the Fayet family based in the village of Moussan close to Narbonne. Uniquely a brook runs around the estate which provides much needed water in this very hot climate, giving the wines their freshness and appeal. For ‘Serica’ Vioginer grapes are picked at optimum ripeness with two-thirds barrel-fermented in mature French oak to bring subtle texture and richness.

Richly textured with bitter-sweet aromas of crystalised orange peel, ginger and cream. Barrel-fermentation brings subtle texture and richness rather than a dominant oaky flavour, leaving rich stone fruits to shine through.
