This 2023 white blend from Château Fontarèche is made with 50 percent Colombard, 30 percent Rolle and 20 percent Sauvignon Blanc. Grown on limestone-rich soils in Corbières, the grapes are picked in the cool morning, gently pressed and cold fermented in stainless steel to preserve brightness and freshness. It is a modern, aromatic southern French white with lively charm and balance.
Bouquet Fragrant and lifted with aromas of lime blossom, pear, white peach and citrus zest. Subtle herbal and mineral tones sit beneath the fruit.
Palate Crisp and light bodied with flavours of green apple, lemon, melon and a hint of salinity. Finishes clean and refreshing with soft texture and gentle acidity.
Food Pairing Lovely with seafood, soft cheeses, summer salads or vegetable tart. A versatile white for casual entertaining or al fresco dining.
