Serica Viognier, Domaine de Vedilhan

Textured, full-flavoured Viognier

Bruno, Pierre and Dominique Fayet are the 6th generation to grow grapes at Domaine de Vedilhan, a large and historic estate based in the village of Moussan, which traces its viticultural history back to the Roman era. A brook runs around the estate which provides much needed water in this very hot climate, giving the wines their freshness and appeal. Vines are managed using the ‘lutte raisonnée’ method and terroir is a combination of limestone, sand and sea shale, meaning the vines dig deep for their nutrients and thus produce excellent quality grapes.

For ‘Serica’, Vioginer grapes are picked at optimum ripeness with two-thirds barrel-fermented in mature French oak to bring subtle texture and richness.The wine is aptly named after the Latin name for silk, ‘Serica’. Notes of orange peel and rich stone fruits. Barrel-fermentation brings subtle texture and richness, and the finish is complex, satisfying and well-balanced.
