Tasting Note
Zingy, sunny Gascon white, made for warm evenings. Bright lemon-green, with intense green apple and grapefruit, plus lime and nectarine. Very refreshing, light at 11%, and dangerously easy to drink. Proof that you don't need to spend a fortune for a seriously enjoyable bottle.
Drink it with: grilled fish, shellfish or marinated vegetables, or on its own, well chilled.
The Winemaking
70% Colombard and 30% Sauvignon Blanc, picked at night when it's cool, pneumatically pressed for the best juice only and fermented cold to keep all those bright aromas. No oak.
The Vineyards
The Côtes de Gascogne in south-west France, rolling Armagnac country of pine trees and hilltop towns, where vines have grown since Roman times. A warm climate that still keeps good acidity in the grapes.
The Producer
White & Sea is a modern two-grape blend that marries traditional south-west French winemaking with some newer techniques.
