This delicious white wine is sourced from vineyards in Gascony where the cooler climate here is perfect for these indigenous grapes to grow and produce magnificent, succulent flavours. The vines are around 40 years old and the grapes are machine harvested at night to protect them from oxidation and directly pressed with a pneumatic press. The juice is racked to extract only the purest, cleanest juice before fermentation. When the fermentation is completed, it stays on the fine lees for a couple of months to help add texture and complexity to the already delicious natural flavours.
This dry, fresh white wine is packed with citrus flavours making the perfect tropical treat for a relaxing crisp, fresh drink.
