Our Rhone white belnd this year is dominated by Viognier (48%) then Marsanne (32%) and Roussanne (20%)

A cooler year has given the wine a nice zesty acidity and more delicate flavours.

Stone fruit, ginger, lemon curd, orange rind and honeysuckle. A lot going on here

Fermented and matured in foudre for two years
