Description
Made using hard-to-find grape variety Grenache Gris which is picked from among red Grenache grapes in vineyards in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The vines in these vineyards are all over 50-years-old, with some nearing 100, and the yields, as a result, are miniscule. Tiny volumes, though, mean seriously concentrated grapes … and a wine that's bursting with fresh fruit flavours.

Winemaker Mark Hoddy - originally from Jersey, but with plenty of winemaking experience all over the world - took the grapes up to our Chai in Castillon, where he gave them top treatment ... the wine was fermented in oak barrels to add a touch of warm vanilla and toast to the rich, peach flavours. If you like full flavoured Chardonnay or Semillon Blanc, you'll love this!

Vibrant ripe apricot and peach, with touches of butter, toast and a hit of vanilla spice. Lingers on and on. Delicious enjoyed on its own or will make a great match for monkfish and tuna dishes.
