Crisp and zesty Southern French white with tropical aromas and a soft finish. Refreshing and thirst-quenching. We blended this wine specially for House of Townend in conjunction with the winemakers and it just sings; a crisp, utterly delicious and very moreish green zesty fruit and pungent, almost Sauvignon-Blanc style intensity.
Vinification: The grapes (80% Colombard & 20% Ugni) are picked during the night, destemmed and finally go through skin contact maceration for 24 hours This process enhances the structure and complexity of the wine. A gentle and meticulous pressing leads to a soft extraction of the most aromatic juices. Fermentation is in tank using inoculated yeasts. Aging is made in tanks to keep a fruity style.
Tasting Note: Refreshing aromas of lime and lychee with a subtle hint of white pepper, Juicy, rich, and well balanced on the palate with a vivid finish.
Food Match: Perfect as an aperitif. Works well with a light chicken salad.
Press: Graham Holter, Wine Merchant Magazine 'These days it's worth giving serious consideration to any wine with an ABV of 11.5% that also hits the shelf under £10. This Colombard/ Ugni Blanc blend from south west France is seemingly aimed at Kiwi Sauvignon lovers on a budget, and while it's less intense it's certainly zippy, with lime and lychee notes".
