Villa Blanche
Pale yellow with almond green highlights. The nose is delicate, opening on aromas of white flowers, sarsaparilla, and rose, and softly evolving to more fruity notes of vine peach, medlar and mango. A mouth-filling wine that envelops the palate with its smooth freshness and delectable aromas of apricot, vine plums and green pepper, with layers of complexity added by gingerbread, white pepper, and a hint of curry. The finish has superb tension and a lovely flinty minerality. Sunshine in a bottle!
