It was created by the husband and wife team of Emmanuel Pageot and Karen Turner, he from France and she from Australia.\n​They have plots of grenache, syrah, mourvèdre, sauvignon blanc, roussanne and a little marsanne, which grow on a mosaic of different soil types and several north-facing aspects between 200 and 300 metres altitudes. The north-facing slopes help to ensure a long and even maturation for the grapes. \n​They farm everything biodynamically, keeping the soils as healthy as they possibly can and using a minimum of sulphur in the vineyards and the winery, while warmer than average fermentations rely on ambient yeasts. These are original wines which are absolutely perfect for accompanying food.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45430618456315,"sku":"00074872","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/f77b31e71f16deee10ff7ccb4187c66c.jpg?v=1711059726","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/turner-pageot-la-rupture-piquepoul-sauvignon-blanc-languedoc-fr-2017","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
