The winemaker selects fruit from multiple wards, ensuring that each vineyard contributes specific characteristics to the blend, such as elevated aromatics, layered flavor, and structure. Grapes are hand-selected, and spontaneous fermentation with ambient yeast is favored, showcasing the authenticity and terroir of the region. Some components, like Chenin Blanc, undergo skin fermentation to lend extra texture, while the wine is aged in small French oak barrels for seven months to heighten perfume and complexity without overshadowing the fruit. The process is designed to preserve natural aromas, texture, and mineral freshness, with an emphasis on freshness and maritime influence from the Cape South Coast.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 1\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 1\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn colour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVillion Wines Blanc de l'Atlantique 2022 shows a pale lemon to lemon-gold colour with bright, youthful reflections, suggesting a fresh, aromatic white blended from cooler coastal-origin fruit.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" class=\"inline\" href=\"https:\/\/messageinabottle.sg\/products\/villion-wines-blanc-de-atlantique-2022\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn the nose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe nose is expressive and perfumed, opening with intense\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ejasmine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand orange blossom, ripe peach and apricot, and subtle tropical tones, layered with sweet baking spice, hints of vanilla and a touch of caramel over a clean, fresh core.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" class=\"inline\" href=\"https:\/\/boundbywine.com\/products\/villion-blanc-de-latlantique\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn the palate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe palate is dry with a mouth-watering entry and medium body, echoing juicy stone fruits and gentle tropical notes wrapped in soft spice, while a lively, dominant freshness and well-judged alcohol keep the wine poised, flowing into a nicely persistent, aromatic finish.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" class=\"inline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sharingwine.nl\/en\/villion-wines-blanc-de-latlantique-2022.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn the whole\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn intensely aromatic yet refreshing coastal white, combining ripe stone fruit richness with floral lift and bright acidity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"open\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;
