Region
The Languedoc is a vast region stretching across much of the south and Mediterranean with large volume of IGP wine within the distinct areas of l`Aude, Gard and Hérault and also well known appellations such as Minervois, Corbières, Pic Saint Loup and Fitou. It’s history dates back to the Greeks and Romans as well as monastaries in the Middle Ages. The Languedoc experiences Mediterranean climate with high levels of sunshine and warmth with low rainfall which are all favourable for grape growing. A wide range of grape varieties are grown including Syrah, Grenache and Carignan and the local variety piquepoul making a range of styles of red, white and rosé wines.

Tasting Notes
This organic Grenache Blanc introduces itself with explosive aromas and flavours of citrus fruit, balanced with a bright freshness. The juice was macerated on skins in steel for 24 hours which lends a lovely fullness and texture to the palate. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts for a slow ferment to ensure optimal fruit expression, this is a great example of a Grenache Blanc with a profile true to the variety.
Food
Ideal as an aperitif, but also with oysters, bouillabaisse, fish on skewers or simply grilled. It will also go very well with ‘’sautées’’ shrimp, trout with almonds, fillet of sole with lemongrass.
