Elia, Côtes de Gascogne, Gascony, France, 2022

From 20-year-old Colombard vines, this Gascony white is naturally lower in alcohol, coming in at 9% abv. Appealing aromas of fresh citrus, lime and melon, followed by a textured palate thanks to time on lees. Peachy sweetness from residual sugar (19g/L) is balanced by fresh acidity, with notes of lychee, herbs and freshly sliced lemon. New to Sainsbury's for autumn.
