A fresh, medium-bodied and delicate Mediterranean white

  • Although famed for its reds, white wines have a long heritage in the southern Rhône valley consumed by the locals at the start of a warm evening.
  • This wine is a typical southern Rhône blend of Viogner, Roussanne, Marsanne and Grenache Blanc.
  • The nose is pretty and delicate with hints of hedgerow flowers.
  • The flavours are nuanced and refined with notes of citrus and stone fruit.
  • This wine works as a lovely apéritif or with light starters and grilled fish.
    • Grape variety: Viognier, Roussanne, Grenache Blanc
    • Vintage: 2023
    • Type/Colour: White
    • Alcohol: 13.5%
    • Bottle Size: 75cl

Following an experiment with a micro cuvée crafted from seven barrels back in 2009, we now source grapes from selected vineyards in the southern Rhône. Each parcel is picked separately in the cooler early daylight hours for gentle pressing that same morning, and each is fermented at a low temperature. To a base of Grenache Blanc, we blend Viognier along with co-fermented pairs of Roussanne/Marsanne and Bourboulenc/Clairette. Over the years we have increased the proportion vinified in stainless steel, with just under a third of the wine now vinified and matured for 6 months French oak barrels (mostly 3rd fill but some new) to add complexity and creaminess.

An old favourite that always delivers when I'm looking for a good glass of white wine. Delicately aromatic with pretty floral and stone fruit flavours. A fridge door staple. - Emily Silva, OWC
