Domaine Le Renard Blanc, Cotes du Rhone

100% Carignan Blanc harvest early in the morning to preserve aromas and flavours. Grapes are carefully sorted and put into a pneumatic press. Very gentle pressing to limit extraction of tannins and vegetal notes. Settling at low temperature followed by fermentation at 16- 17° C with temperature control. Aging on the lees for 2 months with regular stirrings to provide richness in the mouth. Malolactic fermentation is prevented. Very pale yellow, brilliant with subtle green rim. Intense nose of tropical fruit, lime and citrus. Lovely acidity on the palate balanced by richness and body. White-fleshed and citrus fruits dominate with a long finish. Great as an aperitif but ouls also suit shrimp, tabbouleh, seafood, grilled fish and pasta salad
