Great value Grenache Blanc

A classic blend of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne. Fresh minerality on both nose and palate with an underlying salinity. Tight-knit and stony with a long finish. Youthful.

This is a solid example of a Côtes du Rhône with hints of elderflower cordial and lime. The finish is long and defined with some textural grain like pear flesh that brings structure and cleansing drinkability.

From a remote north-eastern region, not too far from Priorat, Terra Alta is relatively unknown but is definitely a place to watch as a source of excellent value wines. Predominantly white Grenache with a dash of Macabeo, this is crisp and fruity with ripe apricot and peach and some lemon zest. The palate is complex, textured and rich in flavour, with lean herbal and spicy notes on the finish making it very well suited to rich, spicy dishes.

There’s some attractive apricot and peach flavours on the mouth, however, it’s certainly not the most elegant. A lovely wine with food, matched with andouillette, served with lentils and caramelised onions.

A nice accessible white with floral and stone fruit scents. The palate has some creaminess to it thanks to the Roussanne and Viognier components being barrel aged for a short time. Green apple and pear flavours are joined by some floral notes and stone fruit richness on the finish.

Named after the searching roots of the vines, which dig deep into the earth for nutrients. This is a blend of white Grenache from two sites, 70% from older vines for concentration and complexity, and 30% from young vines for freshness and fruit character. It has a waxy character with lime juice, white flowers and a touch of honey in a refreshing style.
