2022 La Loupe, Grenache Blanc, Languedoc, France

A hidden gem from this rarely encountered single varietal, lovely dry and richly textured palate, it is impressively fragrant and spicy with notes of peach and pear with aniseed notes. It is a wine made to be enjoyed young and fresh, with a mid-bodied palate rich with flavours of acacia, peach and greengages balanced by a dry mineral finish. It is made protectively in steel tanks to ensure the fresh character of Grenache comes through, with 5 months on lees to give a rich texture that balances the flavours.
