Tasting Notes
Appearance:
Bright, pale straw with subtle green hues, this Grenache Blanc gleams in the glass, hinting at its lively and crisp personality.
Nose:
Vivid aromas leap out, offering an intoxicating bouquet of fresh citrus-think zesty lemon and grapefruit-layered with aromatic herbal notes of thyme and rosemary. Delicate hints of white blossom and a touch of Mediterranean garrigue evoke the sun-drenched Languedoc landscape.
Palate:
The palate is both refreshing and textured, delivering mouth-watering citrus and tangy stone fruit flavours wrapped in a creamy mid-palate richness from ageing on fine lees. Subtle herbal undertones, true to the wild herbs of the region, weave throughout, bringing complexity and an elegant savoury twist. The wine's purity of fruit shines thanks to careful winemaking, eschewing oak to preserve absolute freshness.
Finish:
The finish is clean, lingering, and delicately spiced, with a gentle herbal echo and a savoury, saline edge that invites another sip. This is a perfectly poised Grenache Blanc-harmonious, vibrant, and wonderfully expressive of its Mediterranean origins.
