L’Ostal Blanc

IGP Pays d’Oc

A freshness from southern France

A 100% Viognier wine, L’Ostal Blanc was selected from the coldest land on the estate and of the Pays d’Oc region. It is the perfect illustration of a fresh and gourmet Languedoc white wine, expressing the subtle and elegant aromas characteristic of the Viognier grape variety, found in southern France.

It has a beautiful pale-yellow robe revealing subtle hues of green. The nose is expressive, unveiling notes of apricots and candied orange, mixed with floral touches of honeysuckle and almond. On the palate, it is wonderfully fragrant and marked by a great finesse. It offers an intense, fresh and well-balanced finish, both smooth and slightly acidulous.

Vintages

The 2016 vintage was characterised by exceptionally mild weather: high temperatures and scarce rainfall. The spring was more conventional, with regular rainfall filling up water reserves and mild temperatures ensuring a good start to the vine’s growth cycle.

From early June and during the three months of the summer season, the region enjoyed perfect sunshine. Cool nights paired with hot days allowed the grapes to ripen in excellent conditions and develop complex aromas whilst still retaining their freshness. In ideal conditions, harvest started with the Marsanne grapes on 6th September, Viognier grapes on 7th and 8th, and finished with Roussanne on 9th September.
