Souleil Blanc 2020

Picpoul Blanc, Terret Blanc, Ugni Blanc, and Muscat à Petits Grains

Vin de France 

Straw yellow in color, this profoundly aromatic white wine is produced with grapes from an organically-farmed (ECOCERT) vineyard site in the sun-drenched South of France. Each grape variety is destemmed and vinified on its own in stainless steel tanks before blending and bottling, ensuring that aromatics and acidity are preserved. The wine is a blend of Piquepoul Blanc, Grenache Blanc, Terret Blanc, Ugni Blanc, and Muscat à Petits Grains. 

On the nose, pronounced aromas of tropical fruits, honeysuckle, tart citrus, and white flowers lead to a flavor-packed palate laden with notes of juicy melon, starfruit, guava, lemon rind, and pear nectar. The wine’s salty, mineral-tinged finish demands to be paired with oysters, raw bar favorites, or Provençal fare – and when sipped beneath the sun, all the better.
