Oneiros - "Séduction" range
Dry white wine, 100% Sauvignon - Appellation Touraine Contrôlée.
Created from grapes produced by organic cultivation certified ECOCERT SAS F.32600.
Terroir : Heights of the Sansuette and Rouère hillsides.
The sandy surface soil is rich in flint, warming rapidly and ensuring that grapes come to full ripeness.
Harvesting : By hand, to keep the fruit undamaged until it reaches the press.
Vinification : The grapes are delicately pressed after 12 hours’ pellicular maceration. Juice obtained is cold cleaned by simple natural decantation, remaining in contact with the pomace for 4 days to enrich its texture.
Fermentation takes place naturally (without addition of yeast) at a regulated temperature of 18°C, and is followed by 4 months’ maturing in vats with regular circulation of lees.
Character : Straw yellow in colour, with hints of green. Rich, delicate nose with complex notes of ripe fruits and citrus fruits. Crisp, aromatic attack on the palate. The whole is dense and well-balanced, with excellent length of exotic fruits and citrus fruits (pineapple and orange peel).
