IGP Pays d’Oc

A fresh and elegant white wine

L'Ostal Cazes White endeavours to produce wines that are centred on fruit, purity, freshness and elegance whilst preserving the distinct character of wines from the South of France.
It holds the designation IGP (Protected Geographical Indication) Pays d'Oc, and is made primarily from Viognier (85%), complemented by Marsanne (10%) and Roussanne (5%). The wine is barrel-aged.

Complex nose with notes of anise

Clear, bright and pale in hue with subtle green tinges. The complex nose offers aromas of pear, aniseed and fruit jellies. A few swirls in the glass bring out notes of melon jam.
On the palate, the attack is supple and extremely fresh. A touch of acidity balances out the richness of the wine and lends it its finesse and elegance.

The silver disc on the label represents a lunar eclipse and completes the range perfectly.

Vintages

The end of 2017 was marked by average temperatures and low rainfall (120 mm), followed by a mild first few months of 2018 with higher rainfall than normal (0ver 300 mm).
Budburst took place in the first week of April and was rather generous compared with 2017, offering hopes of a good 2018 harvest.
May was stormy with alternating warm and cool periods, water reserves were very good and the soils had all the resources required to enable the vines to develop well.
The summer was hot to very hot and marked by a period of searing heat lasting for around ten days from 23 July to 7 August (with temperatures of 35-38°C during the daytime and 30°C at night) which the vines managed to withstand without too much trouble, enabling their grapes to continue ripening slowly.
Harvesting took place between the first week of August and the first week of October.
