A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris, Chardonnay and Menu Pineau, all interplanted on flinty, clay soils. The organically grown grapes are hand harvested and immediately pressed to preserve freshness and clarity of fruit. The wine ferments and ages entirely in older French oak barriques, on the lees, with regular batonnage for six months. Bottled un-fined and unfiltered.
A lucid, transparent nose ripe lemon, quince, pineapple, white pepper and an edge of flinty minerality. There's a crisp, mouthwatering freshness to the palate as juicy, citrus-driven fruit is contrasted with crushed rock minerality and a brisk, saline finish. A tantalizing white that's a perfect match for aged cheeses or crunchy, salty fried foods.
