Domaine de la Baume Viognier Elisabeth 2024
Domaine de la Baume Viognier Élisabeth is an expressive, aromatic white from the heart of the Languedoc, France , crafted to showcase the pure varietal character of Viognier at its most generous and perfumed. Named in honour of Élisabeth, one of the estate's early muses, this wine captures the warmth and sunshine of the Mediterranean while maintaining the freshness and balance that makes it so easy to love. Why You'll Love It Founded in the late 19th century and located between Béziers and Pézenas, Domaine de la Baume has built a reputation for varietal wines that express both the richness of the Languedoc terroir and the precision of modern winemaking. Viognier is one of the world's most seductive white grapes all apricot, peach, and honeysuckle and this is a beautifully crafted, food-friendly expression of the variety at a very approachable price. Vineyard & Production Grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness during the cool hours of early morning to preserve aromatic freshness. After gentle pressing, the juice undergoes cold settling before fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to retain the delicate floral and stone fruit aromas characteristic of Viognier. A short maturation on fine lees adds roundness and texture to the palate. Tasting Notes Brilliant pale gold in colour. The nose bursts with apricot, peach, and honeysuckle, complemented by subtle citrus zest and a hint of exotic fruit. The palate is rich yet fresh, with a silky texture and vibrant acidity balancing the generous fruit. The finish is long and perfumed, with lingering notes of apricot and orange blossom. Perfect Pairings A wonderfully versatile white. Excellent with grilled prawns, chicken tagine with apricots, Asian-style dishes, and soft cheeses such as Brie or Camembert. Also a lovely aperitif on its own. The Blend Viognier 100%
Ghost Corner The Bowline Sauvignon Blanc Semillion 2019
Ghost Corner The Bowline is a complex and characterful white wine from the Western Cape of South Africa , blending Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon in a classic Cape white tradition. Named after the bowline, the sailor's knot known as the king of knots for its strength, simplicity and symbolism of union and completion, this wine ties together two complementary varieties into something greater than the sum of its parts. Why You'll Love It Ghost Corner is one of South Africa's most exciting producers, crafting wines from the wild, windswept vineyards of the Elim and Overberg regions. The Bowline is their signature white blend, and it showcases the Cape's remarkable ability to produce Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon of real complexity and depth. Well-balanced oak, a refreshing finish and a Vivino rating of 4.2 make this a wine that consistently over-delivers for the price. Vineyard and Production Sourced from Ghost Corner's vineyards in the Western Cape, where the cool maritime climate and diverse soils create ideal conditions for aromatic white varieties. The Semillon contributes green fig and dusty complexity, while the Sauvignon Blanc brings ripe asparagus notes and vibrant freshness. Careful oak integration adds structure and weight without masking the wine's natural aromatic character. Tasting Notes Aromatic and complex on the nose, with green fig and dusty notes from the Semillon complemented by ripe asparagus and fresh citrus from the Sauvignon Blanc. The palate is well-structured with balanced oak, good acidity and a refreshing, smooth finish that lingers with real elegance. Perfect Pairings A versatile food wine. Excellent with roast chicken, fresh seafood, grilled fish or a classic fish pie. Also outstanding alongside soft goat's cheese, asparagus dishes or a light summer salad.
