Olives groves and vines flourish in the sun-drenched Mediterranean summers of southern France where we have selected wines from 2 parcels to produce this fresh, aromatic white wine. The clean, zippy fruit from the Sauvignon Blanc is complemented by the more luscious, exotic fruit flavours of the Rolle (otherwise known as Vermentino). The interwoven flavours deliver a wine of character that is fresh, crisp and a real delight to drink.

A wine of real presence and character, vivid vinous aromas of ripe red fruits combine with a wild edge of the real French countryside, the palate is supple and lithe, the deep smooth tannins wholly integrated to form a rich satisfying finish.

With a lovely pale crystalline green robe, this wine offers a fine and pleasant nose with aromas of acacia and hawthorn flowers. Elegant on the palate, it is perfectly balanced between acidity and structure. To be enjoyed alongside seafood, Mediterranean cuisine or cheeses.
