Description

  • Subtle oak
  • Rockmelon
  • Apricot
  • Subtle nougat

"A classically styled old world style wine with scents of stone then vanilla, peach then apple and whisper of grapefruit. Fresh, ripe and fruity on the palate with a vanilla and nut flavour first then peach and apple, contrasting acidity and a fine lees and tannin note. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from 2021 through 2023" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Feb 2022

"Bright and gently lifted, the bouquet shows apricot, rockmelon, citrus peel and subtle nougat notes, followed by a finely expressed palate displaying ripe fruit flavours together with rounded mouthfeel and vibrant acidity" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Straw gold yellow colour in the glass. Fine and elegant nose mixing white fruit aromas (pear, quince) with vanilla notes. Fruit driven on the palate, the attack is fresh, followed by a round and supple texture. Flattering oaky notes appear on the aftertaste.

Sourced from the Languedoc Roussillon region situated along the Mediterranean Sea in different terroirs that add complexity and richness to the wine. A selection of the vines are located in the coolest areas of the Languedoc region near Limoux, which experience a wide temperature range between cool nights and warm days. Grapes were also sourced from the Gard region where the weather is warmer.

Food Pairing: White meat, poultry, salads and pasta.
