Miraval, Studio by Miraval, IGP Méditerranée, Blanc, 2023

Presentation

The vintage
Like in the Northern Rhône, the 2023 vintage was full of contrasts in Provence, requiring composure and meticulous and permanent attention of our vines. After a dry winter, the spring was particularly wet with episodes of hail which caused damage. Following these heavy rains, we had to face significant spells of mildew before a particularly hot and dry summer. The harvest thus began early on September 6th. Due to these climatic hazards, the harvest offers a limited quantity but with magnificent quality. The wines are now resting peacefully in the cellar.
Terroir
Studio by Miraval white is a tribute to Rolle which is The main local white grape variety.
Ageing
The Rolle is vinified in tulip-shaped concrete vats with a rounded bottom. This ovoid shape creates a natural convection movement that suspends the lees creating the same effect as a batonnage. This results in a wines that keep their fruitiness and acidity but also gives texture and body.

Elegant pale yellow color with silver highlights. Very fresh, the nose reveals seductive notes of lemony white peach. This freshness continues on the palate with a beautiful balance, aromas of crunchy green apple combined with pretty acidic notes which recall the minerality of the Miraval terroir, and a long finish with saline notes.

Will be perfect with a gravlax or seafood platter.
