Winemaker Notes
Pale gold color. Dried apricot, peach and vanilla on the nose, along with a floral note. Additional hints of citrus fruit and toast in the mouth. Medium body. Long, clean finish. Like a hypothetical blend of Sauvignon Blanc (without the herbs) and Chenin Blanc (without the earthy element).
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
Offering the perfect balance of quality and value, Southwest, France is a recognized appellation that encompasses all wine regions in France’s southwestern corner (except for Bordeaux and Cognac, which merit their very own). Two of the more famous subregions here are Cahors, known for its Malbec, and Madiran, home of the robust Tannat grape. Bordeaux Blends are also popular red wines of the Southwest; Petit Manseng is the regions’s star autochthonous white variety.
