On the palate, the wine is crisp and beautifully balanced, leading with flavours of lemon zest and grapefruit, followed by hints of juicy melon, almond, and a touch of minerality. The finish is clean and invigorating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe grapes were harvested during the coolest hours of the morning to ensure optimal freshness, preserve delicate aromas, and minimise the risk of oxidation. A gentle pressing was carried out at less than 1 bar to obtain pure, high-quality juice. The must was then kept at 3°C for five days to enhance aromatic extraction before fermentation began in stainless steel tanks at 15°C. All transfers were conducted in an oxygen-free environment to prevent oxidation and maintain the wine’s purity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe 2025 harvest at Maison Saint Aix spanned seventeen days of night harvesting, from 27 August to 25 September. Harvest planning proved particularly challenging due to over 100 mm of rainfall in September. While the vintage was initially shaping up to be one of the earliest on record, the heavy rains caused a slight delay. Ultimately, the rainfall proved highly beneficial, helping to revitalise vines that had been stressed by the intense August heat, particularly the Rolle. The grapes were harvested at full maturity for AIX White, producing wines of excellent quality and vibrant expression.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Givino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62590670471498,"sku":"3333441333329","price":17.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/4747\/8602\/files\/aixblanc.png?v=1782987986","url":"https:\/\/givino.co.uk\/products\/maison-saint-aix-aix-white-2025","provider":"Givino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
