Origin

The Aligoté wine by Martin Woods is produced in Burgundy, France, a region renowned for its high-quality white wines. This area is characterized by its cool climate and limestone-rich soils, ideal for the Aligoté grape variety.

Variety

This wine is made exclusively from the Aligoté grape, a white grape variety native to Burgundy. Aligoté is known for its crisp acidity and fresh, light character.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully pressed to preserve their delicate aromas. The fermentation process is conducted in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to maintain freshness and enhance the natural acidity of the Aligoté grape. The wine is aged briefly on fine lees to add subtle complexity without overpowering its crisp profile.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections.
  • Aroma: Fresh and vibrant with notes of green apple, citrus fruits, and subtle floral hints.
  • Palate: Crisp and lively acidity, light-bodied with flavors of lemon zest, white peach, and a mineral undertone.
  • Finish: Clean and refreshing with a slightly tangy finish.

Food pairings

Martin Woods Aligoté pairs well with a variety of light and fresh dishes, including:

  • Seafood such as oysters, mussels, and grilled fish
  • Fresh salads with citrus or vinaigrette dressings
  • Goat cheese and other soft cheeses
  • Light poultry dishes and vegetable-based appetizers
