Domaine de la Grande Courtade Chardonnay Organic 2022
La Grande Courtade Chardonnay is an organically produced Chardonnay with a fresh, pure, and charming expression, showing generosity from oak ageing balanced by lively acidity. Meet the Producer The Fabre Family have been making wine for over 400 years, with their estate rooted in the Languedoc. Their historic cellar, built in the 18th century, still houses the original vats used by their ancestors. The vineyards for this wine come from the family’s La Grande Courtade holdings, carefully managed to produce ripe, high-quality Chardonnay grapes. Production Grapes are harvested at night and pressed immediately. 20% of the juice is fermented in oak barrels and aged 6 months on its lees with batonnage, while the remainder is vinified in stainless steel to preserve freshness. The wine is made from a blend of well-ripened and earlier-picked grapes, balancing richness with crisp acidity. Tasting Notes A generous yet fresh Chardonnay, displaying pure fruit and subtle oak nuances, with a clean, vibrant finish that highlights the grape’s natural freshness despite the warm southern climate. Food Match Delicious with simply grilled fish, pan-roasted in butter, or roasted vegetables. Grape Varieties Chardonnay 100%
Sierra Cantabria, Rioja Blanco 2022
Full of zesty citrus fruits with luxurious nuances of honey and spring flowers, the Sierra Cantabria Rioja Blanco is a stunner. A blend of Viura, Malvasia and Sauvignon Blanc, it's extremely fresh, vibrant and fruity, making it the perfect wine for seafood and tapas. The Sauvignon Blanc was vinified in oak barrels for two months, adding richness to the palate, yet there's still loads of bright fresh citrus and white fruits, making it super gluggable and a must have for the spring and summer. Sierra Cantabria are undoubtedly one of Rioja's best kept secrets, head winemaker Marcos Eguren having been named Winemaker of the Year in Tim Atkin's Special Rioja Report 2023, yet their wines remain astonishingly good value and are a must have for any serious cellar.
