Chateau de Serame Terrasses de Seram Blanc from Corbieres, France. Chardonnay : 70%, Vermentino : 30%. Deep yellow with gold accents. A delicate, slightly floral nose reminiscent of bergamot.

Château Sérame is a historic Languedoc estate whose origins date back to Gallo-Roman times. It is located in an unspoilt natural setting bordered by the river Aude and the Canal du Midi. It lies at the confluence of two appellations: Corbières and Minervois. With the arrival of Aymeric Izard as vineyard manager in 2020, the vineyard has undergone a real qualitative transformation. The 200 hectares of vines have been 100% organic since 2010,

The grape varieties that make up Château Sérame Rosé 20202 are harvested at dawn to take advantage of the lower temperatures and preserve their greatest aromatic potential. Na de directe persing gevolgd door een koude bezinking, vindt er een langzame gisting plaats gedurende 15 tot 18 dagen bij 18°C onder gecontroleerde temperaturen. The wine matures on lees and is stirred regularly.

Vermentino is a characteristic grape variety in Liguria, from the Italian island of Sardinia, and also from the French island of Corsica, where it is sometimes called malvoisie de corse. Vermentino is a good quality white grape that usually produces full, powerful wines. These dry white wines can have an interesting intense fruitiness with depth and refinement if they have undergone careful vinification. Vermentino appears to have been imported from Spain in the Middle Ages and was a subspecies of malvasia. This species underwent many mutations, so that there are now about 40 versions of vermentino. Also mistakenly called malvasia.

Chardonnay, the grape of white Burgundy and Champagne, is planted all over the world. Delivers good to very good wine with a full, dry taste. Chardonnay is a grape that does not have a clear character, which depends on the terroir (soil and climate) and the method of wine making. Chardonnay lends itself very well to maturing in wooden barrels.
