White Wine. Rich, fresh and mellow. Peach and white flower. Vanilla hint.
Arrogant Frog is a wine that proudly embraces its Mediterranean origins yet leaps out of the glass with a friendly and inviting New World attitude. To obtain the fruit-driven and unique style that defines Arrogant Frog, its creator Jean-Claude Mas (the « Humble winemaker ») harvests grapes from the hillsides of the five main valleys of his region: the Aude, Orb, Hérault, Peyne and Uzès valley. This viognier comes from the Orb valley.

Regional information
This Frog is typically French but leaps out of the glass with New World attitude and style. To obtain the fruit-driven style and exceptional quality that defines Arrogant Frog, Jean-Claude Mas selected the best grapes coming from the hillsides of the five main valleys of the Languedoc region: the Aude, Orb, Hérault, Peyne and Uzès valley.
Vinification
Careful selection of the best grapes after a mechanical harvest. After destemming of the grapes, 4-hours-skin-contact for the grapes from the oldest vineyard, pneumatic pressuring and racking at 10°C. Low-temperature fermentation at 18°C max. Malolactic fermentation for 20% of the Cuvée. Ageing: 15% of the Viognier finishes its fermentation and is aged in new oak barrels for 3 months. The other 85% is aged in stainless steel vats only.
