2017 Southern France

A deliciously crisp and vibrant wine which shows intense citrus notes on the nose and palate. Its fresh acidity makes this incredibly thirst-quenching, while the gentle minerality and delicate saline note on the finish makes a second glass almost irresistible. This is the perfect match for a plate of fresh oysters, though it will happily sit alongside any other shellfish dishes.

Château Fontarèche is one of the great historic wine estates of the Languedoc; with records which mention vines on the property as far back as 1350. Located in the Corbières appellation, the estate produces wines under this name as well as a wide selection of fruit-forward single-varietal Pays d’Oc wines.

This vibrant, fleshy white has lots of fresh acidity despite its warm southern origin. The nose shows peach, sherbet and blossom, while the palate moves to more generous stone-fruit with hints of citrus and a clean, slightly honeyed, finish. Drink now to 2020.
