The 2022 Invitare is 100% Viognier and shows a deep golden-yellow hue with green highlights and delivers an expressive aromatic profile marked by exotic fruits (pineapple, lychee), white stone fruits (apricot, peach), and delicate floral notes such as acacia blossom. On the palate it’s full-bodied, round and generous, with a vibrant core of fruit balanced by fresh acidity and a long, elegant finish with subtle vanilla nuance.
Sourced from steep, south and southeast-facing hillside vineyards in Condrieu planted on schist and altered granite soils, this wine expresses classic Rhône minerality and aromatic depth. Grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness. After gentle pressing, fermentation occurs in stainless steel and wood, followed by about 8–10 months ageing on lees, with roughly 15% in new oak barrels and 85% in used demi-muids, to build texture and complexity while preserving fresh fruit character.
