Thick-skinned and wild, Gros Manseng is relatively unknown. For years, it was held in lower regard than its equally obscure parent, Petit Manseng, and blended away anonymously. To get the best out of Gros Manseng, this is two wines blended together: a bright and zingy Gros Manseng fermented to dryness into which a smaller proportion of late harvest Gros Manseng has been blended, bringing with it a delightful fruitiness and exotic spice.

Zingy, incense-smoked and glorious, this is loud and proud Gros Manseng. One of our new favourites!  This makes for a mega apéritif, otherwise try with stinky cheeses and aromatic middle-eastern and eastern cuisines.
