Description
Domaine de la Solitude is one of the iconic producers of the Southern Rhone. This superb cuvee is based on 60% Viognier, truly unique for the appellation, and it’s absolutely delicious. It’s one of the most wildly expressive wines we have tasted this year.
“Effusive nose of ripe melon, apricot and orange blossom. Medium-bodied with ample ripeness, but a light-footed personality with lively acidity.” – James Suckling
This wine is a blend of three varietals. The Clairette brings the freshness and zest of citrus, the Viognier the aromatic depth and roundness, and the Grenache the notes of white flowers.
The grapes are harvested early in the morning and completely destemmed. The fermentation in stainless-steel vats preserves the full aromatic freshness. The wine has a nose of citrus and apricots, a round and generous mouthfeel, and a fresh and flavourful finish.
