The harvest is made by machine and during the night to avoid the big heats of the day. Each grape variety is vinified separately. The winemaking is very traditional, the grapes go for a gentle pressing and settling. The clearer juice ferments at low temperature in stainless steel tanks (12-14°C). No ageing in oak to preserve the fruitiness of the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegional information: The Côtes de Thau IGP vineyards stretch across the communes of Agde and Marseillan. The area's sandy, limestone-rich soils and Mediterranean climate make it ideal for growing grapes, particularly white grapes. The Bassin de Thau is renowned for its oyster farms, making it a great place to enjoy tasty oysters all year round. The vines here benefit from the sea spray, which is ideal for producing dry, salty white wines. The terroir consists of varied soils, including limestone, clay, and sandy soils. These soil types contribute to the unique characteristics of the wines, providing good drainage and influencing the mineral profile of the wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"M\u0026S","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48334272725230,"sku":"STO-ITEM-2026-311343","price":15.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/0125\/9183\/files\/640x640_c26221ab-f630-480c-b975-84abcf7f1b42.jpg?v=1784253558","url":"https:\/\/mcgrocer.com\/products\/carte-postale-cotes-de-thau-blanc-white-wine-2026311343","provider":"McGrocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
