The average age of the vines is 30 years old. For the winemaking, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel vats to preserve the delicate fruit aromas. They blend in 8% Viognier which is what gives the wine a sense of softness. Then, the wine is aged for a minimum of 18 months in barrel of which 25% of the barrels are new. Annual production is approximately 15,000 bottles per year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore About The Winery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"222\" data-end=\"591\"\u003ePerched on the \u003cstrong data-start=\"237\" data-end=\"275\"\u003esteep granite terraces of Condrieu\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong data-start=\"277\" data-end=\"303\"\u003eDomaine Georges Vernay\u003c\/strong\u003e is the undisputed reference for \u003cstrong data-start=\"336\" data-end=\"348\"\u003eViognier\u003c\/strong\u003e and one of the greatest domaines in all of France.
