Description
In a nutshell:
A deliciously off-dry style of Chenin Blanc from the heart of France's Loire valley.
The lowdown:
The Vouvray area, immediately to the east of Tours on the banks fo the Loire is the heart of Chenin Blanc country. Here this grape variety is used to make wines all the way from fully dry to some of the sweetest liquoreux dessert wines. This one, an off-dry style and something of a niche product these days, is a style for which Vouvray is well known. The grapes for this are hand harvested at the optimim ripeness needed to ensure sugar levels sufficient to produce a Demi-Sec wine. It has lovely aromas of just-picked walnuts, a hint of lime and ripe melon notes while on the palate there are honeyed, cooked apple flavours. The sweetness is perfectly integrated and balanced, resulting in a refreshing wine with good length.
When to drink:
Very versatile either on its own or fantastic with cheese, especially goat's cheese. And with fish, hot smoked trout or mackerel works very well.
