IGP DU PAYS D'OC BLANC
Organic Wine Fortant - Gaïa

Origins of the cuvee

Fortant goes again to the discovery of Mediterranean terroirs to create the first organic vintages dedicated to vegetable cooking

Philosophy

Our white GAIA Oc cuvée is a blend of Viognier and Chardonnay grapes. In order to ensure a maximum of freshness, we have chosen our Viognier and Chardonnay grapes from the cool slopes of the Languedoc’s scrublands

Terroir

The growing methods used embrace the principles of agro-ecology:
preservation and development of biodiversity
control over and reduction of the use of fertilizers and plant protection products
water management, and choice of plant material suited to the area’s environment.

Vinification

The grapes in each plot are harvested at their peak of ripeness and vinified separately:
Fermented at low temperatures (15°C) to preserve all of the wine’s finesse and freshness.

Ageing

Aged in concrete/stainless steel tanks on fine lees for 4 months in order to bring out all of this wine’s fruit and texture.

Winemaker's notes

Buttercup yellow in colour, this wine offers a generous nose featuring aromas of vineyard peach and acacia. Floral and full-bodied on the palate with exotic flavours and a delectable finish.
