Winemaker Notes
Aromatics of white nectarine, honeysuckle, and citrus blossoms jump from the glass of the 2018 Grenache Blanc. Layers of white fruit including honeydew and cantaloupe combine with a hint of lime on the palate.
Blend: 76% Grenache Blanc, 15% Picpoul Blanc, 9% Viognier
Producing full-bodied white wines, Grenache Blanc can be unctuous and soft or floral and fresh. Some of the finest examples are terroir-driven, age-worthy wines. It is a key ingredient in white Châteauneuf-du-Pape and many white blends across southern France and NE Spain. Somm Secret—Grenache Blanc plays a key role in the vins doux naturels of Rivesaltes and a subsidiary role in those of Banyuls and Maury.
