Pasquiers Sauvignon Vermentino Vin de Pays D'Oc 2025
Pasquiers Sauvignon Rolle is a bright, aromatic southern French white from the Languedoc , blending the zingy freshness of Sauvignon Blanc with the exotic creaminess of Rolle (Vermentino) , two varieties that complement each other beautifully in the sun-drenched vineyards of the south. Why You'll Love It This is everyday southern French white wine at its most appealing, fresh, aromatic, and genuinely versatile. The Sauvignon brings crisp citrus vibrancy while the Rolle adds a smooth, exotic creaminess that lifts the blend above the ordinary. Crafted by Boutinot France , who have grown from a modest importer into a major presence in southern France through close partnerships with local growers, Pasquiers consistently delivers quality and character well above its price point. Vineyard and Production Sauvignon Blanc and Rolle are sourced from sun-drenched vineyards planted on alluvial sand and silt soils, encouraging deep root growth to withstand the hot, dry Languedoc summers. Harvest takes place in the cool of early morning, with Sauvignon Blanc picked earlier than Rolle to preserve its crisp acidity. Both varieties undergo cold maceration, gentle pressing, and fermentation on fine lees at 16 to 18 degrees, a process that highlights the creamy texture of Rolle and the zingy freshness of Sauvignon Blanc in equal measure. Tasting Notes Luscious aromas of exotic fruit from the Rolle harmonise with the clean, citrusy vibrancy of Sauvignon Blanc on the nose. The palate is smooth, dry, and refreshing, lively and aromatic with a subtle textural complexity that makes it genuinely moreish. Perfect Pairings A superb chilled aperitif, and equally at home with moules mariniere, creamy chicken dishes, grilled sea bass, goat's cheese salad, Thai green curry, sushi, or a simple platter of charcuterie and soft cheeses. Grape Varieties Sauvignon Blanc, Rolle (Vermentino)
Riesling Spatlese Abtei Himmerod Mosel 2024
Abtei Himmerod Riesling Spätlese is an elegant, off-dry white wine from the Mosel , one of Germany 's most celebrated wine regions. Grown on steep, slate-rich vineyards along the Mosel River and crafted from 100% Riesling , it is a wine of real finesse, combining vibrant acidity, delicate fruit, and a distinctive mineral character that is unmistakably Mosel. Why You'll Love It Mosel Riesling is one of the wine world's great benchmarks, and Abtei Himmerod is a historic estate that captures its essence beautifully. The combination of steep slate slopes, a cool continental climate, and meticulous vineyard management produces grapes of exceptional quality and aromatic complexity. Spätlese, meaning late harvest, indicates grapes picked at optimal ripeness for added depth and natural sweetness, balanced by the region's signature crisp acidity. This is Riesling at its most expressive and rewarding. Vineyard & Production Grapes are hand-harvested from steep slate vineyards along the Mosel River, where the dark slate soils absorb heat during the day and release it at night, helping the grapes ripen slowly and develop intense aromatic complexity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures to preserve purity and freshness, before a brief period on fine lees adds subtle texture and depth prior to bottling. Tasting Notes Pale straw with green highlights. The nose is fresh and aromatic, with citrus peel, green apple, white flowers, and a characteristic slate minerality. On the palate, off-dry and beautifully balanced, with flavours of apricot and peach supported by crisp, refreshing acidity and a long, clean, mineral finish. Serve well chilled at 8 to 10 degrees. Perfect Pairings A wonderfully versatile food wine. Pairs beautifully with seafood, sushi, lightly spiced Asian cuisine, roast poultry, and fresh goat's cheese. Also an excellent match for Thai green curry, Vietnamese spring rolls, or a simple smoked trout salad. The Blend 100% Riesling
