## Wine making process

Moulin de Gassac Viognier is produced from 100% de-stemmed grapes. A brief skin maceration of approximately 3 hours is employed to extract aromatic compounds. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's fresh fruit and floral notes. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 5 to 6 months in stainless steel tanks before bottling. This approach focuses on maintaining the purity of the Viognier varietal and the expression of its terroir.
