The 2022 Gramadoelas comes from Grenache Blanc cultivated on shale and schistous soils in a continental microclimate. It spends nine months in used oak on the lees. The perfumed bouquet offers yellow plum, orange blossom and wild peaches. Lovely delineation. The palate is taut and mineral-driven on the entry, with a life-affirming sharpness and tension throughout this wine and a laser-like, saline finish. This is an outstanding expression of Grenache Blanc from a singular vineyard site.

Pretty nose of lilies, lemons, chopped apples and nuts. Lovely freshness on the palate, with a medium to full body and creamy texture. 1623 bottles produced. Drink now.

Light to medium-bodied with good acidity, the palate is food-friendly and fresh, making it ideal for pairing with cheeses and seafood.
