40% Gros Manseng, 60% Petit Manseng grown on south-west facing gravelly slopes. The Manseng grapes deliver fresh acidity with a touch of salinity, alongside exotic fruit flavours. This has some aspects of Chablis, some of Puligny, some of really good Pouilly-Fume. But it also adds a lovely orange tinged citrus flavour, and a real teasing sense of sweetness, but its dry and mouth-watering. I love it, I’ve been so impressed, not sure I knew Manseng could be so fine! A great seafood choice for those bored of Sauvignon Blanc.
