Carteirra Blanc

2012 Languedoc Viognier

The Sandler Capital Management Carteirra Blanc is a delightful expression of Viognier from the picturesque Languedoc region. This white wine boasts a full body that envelops the palate with its richness, while its bright acidity adds a refreshing lift, making it incredibly food-friendly. The fruit intensity is prominent, presenting a luscious bouquet of ripe stone fruits, such as apricot and peach, intertwined with delicate floral notes. With a well-structured mouthfeel, the tannins remain subtle, allowing the wine's vibrant character to shine through. Being dry, it invites sips and savors, perfect for enjoying alongside lighter fare or simply on its own to appreciate its elegance. This vintage from 2012 captures the essence of Languedoc's terroir, showcasing the winemaker's artistry and the varietal's innate charm.

Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon

France's oldest and largest winemaking region, the Languedoc-Roussillon stretches around the sun-kissed Mediterranean from Roussillon to Provence. Taking in everything from rugged mountain slopes to breezy coastline, this vast region features various climates and terroirs. Outside of its famous AOCs like Minervois, Corbières and Saint-Chinian, many Languedoc wines are made in the less restrictive IGP classification, in particular the Pays d'Oc. There are many wine styles made in Languedoc, but full-bodied reds blending Grenache, Syrah, Carignan, Mourvèdre and Cinsault are the most common. For summer drinking, look to its fruity rosé, rounded Chardonnay and zingy Picpoul. You will often find grape varieties stated on the label of Languedoc's IGP wines, an uncommon practice in much of France.
