Wines inspired by the spirit of place - ‘L’esprit de lieu’. Authentic, crafted small batch wines. The vineyards for Fidèle Soleilla are perched high in the dramatic hills and terraces above the Vallée d’Agly. The famed black schist is interspersed with pockets of limestone from the higher slopes, combining the richness and power that is typical of Maury with a fresher, more finely defined character.
The very aromatic Viognier produces its aromas at a certain stage of maturation. the grapes undergo a short skin-contact maceration. Then, the juice, collected after a delicate pressing and meticulous off-settling, ferments at low temperature.
The result is a haunting honeysuckle and apricot aroma and rich, almost unctuous palate that is somehow still dry, tangy and refreshing. Really good with with pasta and seafood.
