Mont Gravet comes from vineyards located in the Gascony region, near the city of Toulouse in the South West of France. The climate combines Oceanic and Mediterranean influences, which brings enough sun and humidity to grow rich, concentrated and ripe grapes. The grapes are harvested at night when it is coolest. They then undergo a six hour skin-contact extracting. After a gentle pressing, the fermentation is carried out at a cold temperature to enhance the fresh fruit flavors and aromas. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for three months on its fine lees to give the wine a delightful smooth mouthful. The Colombard grape is a cousin of the Chenin Blanc grane and thus is rich and elegant on the palate. However, the aromas of fresh flowers and elderberry more resemble a Sauvignon Blanc.

Tasting Notes: White and glossy golden yellow in color with complex and refreshing aromas of tropical fruits and flowers, some elder and herbal notes. Rich and simultaneously elegant on the palate with a lingering finish.

Perfect with spicy cuisine, grilled chicken and all seafood.
