“Made primarily from white Grenache (80%) and gray Grenache, aged in reused barrels, this is a round, full-bodied, and smooth white wine with a mineral finish.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019) This round and smooth white wine pairs perfectly with white meats in sauce and Mediterranean dishes. A truly beautiful wine for fine dining!

About the estate:
The Grier family, owners of a vineyard in South Africa renowned for its sparkling wines, established this 25-hectare estate—comprising a single contiguous plot—in the Fenouillèdes region in 2006. They entrusted its management to Raphël Graugnard, who brings his extensive experience to crafting wines that embody the successful union of the Old and New Worlds.

Extremely aromatic and extremely rich. Some of us at the table were initially impressed. But we quickly got sick of it, and the bottle is taking forever to finish...
