Château Canet Spirituel AOP Minervois

In the sun-drenched hills of the Minervois, a special white wine is born – a true rarity, since only a small part of the region is devoted to white winegrowing at all. With great patience and sensitivity, the grapes are allowed to develop their aromas before the wine slowly matures over many months. Everything happens unhurriedly, almost as if one were consciously taking time for the beautiful things in life. Brief contact with wood lends it additional softness and harmony, without pushing itself into the foreground. The result is a wine that quietly delights – rounded, balanced and full of gentle elegance. A pleasure for all who appreciate the special in the unassuming.

Characteristics

This white wine shows pale gold in the glass, with an inviting, fresh bouquet. Vibrant citrus notes of grapefruit dominate the nose, accompanied by exotic aromas of ripe pineapple that lend the wine a pleasant fruitiness. On the palate it starts fresh and elegant, with a lively, clear structure. The fruit feels juicy and precise, while a soft, rounded character unfolds as it progresses. The harmonious balance between freshness and smoothness makes for a pleasant, well-balanced tasting experience with a fine finish. The blend of 40% Roussanne, 30% Vermentino, 25% Viognier and 5% Muscat gives the wine its multi-layered aromatics and the successful combination of freshness, fruit and floral nuances.

Serving suggestion

Ideal as an aperitif as well as with tapas, seafood, grilled fish, poultry or veal. Also an elegant companion to a fine cheese selection.
