Extended skin contact gives the wine its amber hue and textural grip. Minimal sulfites are added at bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard sits in a semi-arid climate buffeted by near-constant Atlantic winds that moderate summer temperatures and preserve acidity in the grapes. Sorghum is grown as a cover crop between vine rows to reduce heat stress and protect the fruit from sun damage. The vines are not trained on a trellis but grown low and free-standing, a common adaptation to the intense heat of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, Muscat Blanc contributes lychee, orange blossom, and citrus peel, while Viognier adds stone fruit and floral lift. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with bright acidity, a slight tannic grip from skin contact, and notes of candied orange peel, apricot, and tangerine pith. The finish is mineral and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 55 F. This wine holds up well alongside food and does not need to be rushed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Du Val D’Argan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39837960863943,"sku":"ARGAORAN18C","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/la-gazelle-de-mogador-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1630820089","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/la-gazelle-de-mogador-le-domaine-du-val-d-argan-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
