ASTRALABE BLANC

The first vintage of this new tiny production white wine was in 2019.   A blend of mostly Grenache Blanc, with some smaller additions of Vermentino [Rolle], Clairette, Roussanne and Viognier, it is the little sister of our Grenache/Syrah Astralabe blend.  With floral notes and hints of peach and white pears, this full-bodied, complex and aromatic wine has refreshing acidity, a rich mouthfeel and a long finish.


SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Pairs perfectly with seasonal dishes [including fish, shellfish and white meat].  Ideal with Mediterranean cuisine or mixed salads.  Serve lightly chilled at 14°C.  Aging potential: 2-5 years.


TASTING NOTES
