To create the 100% Viognier, Terre des 2 Sources winemaker Kirsten is very specific about which parcels of fruit can be used and looks for flavours of salinity, white pepper with some perfume and a tight mouthfeel with abundant acidic freshness. After four years of trials, she has found the right yeast to fully express the variety without losing freshness. A portion of the wine is always barrel fermented in old Damy barrels, while the majority is cool-fermented in tank. Depending on the season, Kirsten will decide whether to allow skin contact in the press and whether some whole bunches would benefit the wine. Both portions of the wine will be left on gross lees for a minimum of four months with weekly stirring for the first two months. The wines are left unsulfured until just before assembling the blend in preparation for filtering and bottling. |

Terre des 2 Sources came about from the collaboration of two couples who each had a similar dream: to find the right land and environment to craft exceptional wines. It didn't take too long for them to locate a gem just south of the Cévennes mountains, Domaine de la Devèze. With a variety of soils, slopes and aspects residing in a climate moderated by higher elevation and proximity to the mountains, the vineyards can produce wines of complexity and elegance.
