Incredibly tasty "weekday" white wine for around $12. I was really surprised at how good this was. Made from 55% Viognier and 45% Sauvignon that have been fermented and aged in vat.
Here are the notes from winemaker Luis Barruol:
"The Minervois mountains offer a fantastic cool microclimate very well adapted for Sauvignon growing…Our Viognier is a 'selection massale' made in Condrieu: it does give another dimension, a great aromatic complexity, which allows us to avoid the uncomplex varietal character. We make this wine on a very simple and classical way. We look for energy, freshness, aromatic expression. It can be tasted as an apéritif, or be a nice accompaniment to many different dishes such as grilled vegetables, fishes, stilton, blue cheeses, asparagus, chicken with morels, or risotto with truffles…Lemon skin, cooked tangerine, watermelon, peach."
