Composition
49% Chenin Blanc, 15% Grenache Blanc, 15% Ugni Blanc, 15% Rousanne, and 6% Viognier





Chenin Blanc, Grenache Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Rousanne, Viognier
This white cuvée combines fruit and texture with freshness and structure. Chenin Blanc and Ugni Blanc primarily provide acidity and can contribute apple and citrus notes. Viognier and Rousanne often add stone fruit, floral notes and subtle spice, while Grenache Blanc supports body and fullness together with them. Chenin Blanc can also add substance and tension.
The varieties have different strengths: Loire and South Africa are particularly associated with Chenin Blanc, southern France with the other varieties. This combination does not point to a classic origin or a defined style. Depending on the Aged, it may appear more fresh and linear or round and creamy; tannins usually remain in the background.
In the glass, pale yellow to golden-yellow hues are possible, with their intensity also depending on maturity and Aged. These wines pair well with vegetable dishes, fish or white meat, for example.
