2025 Frederic Garrabou Marsanne Viognier Deux Grives Languedoc

A wine that expresses true harmony of varietals. Viognier lends punchy stone fruit aromas whilst the Marsanne adds refreshing acidity and liveliness. Truly mouth-watering and delicious.

Fredéric Garrabou was born in the small village of Limoux, situated amongst the Languedoc. His father and both his grandfathers were wine growers, and he grew up immersed in the vineyards, assisting his father from a young age. The cultivation of vines has always captivated him, as he believes that the finest wines are crafted in the vineyard.

Vinification: Picked in the early hours of the day to avoid grape bruising and oxidation, the grapes are taken to the nearby winery within a few hours. Macerated on their skins for a few hours, they are then gently handled using a pneumatic press. The varieties are kept separate so their individual varietal character is allowed to develop. Fermentation happens in stainless steel at low temperatures, normally 10C. Aged on fine lees over 3 -4 months in tank, with minor battonage on the Viognier element. The wines are then blended and married for several weeks before bottling .

Tasting note: Gold and bright in colour. On the nose, candied apricots and peaches with notes of honeysuckle and lemon peel. Full bodied with a long refreshing finish.

Food match: Drink with white meats, or Duck Terrine with figs,
