Structure: medium-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, sweet
This is a rancio-style fortified white made from Grenache Blanc in Roussillon, deliberately oxidised and aged to develop nutty, caramelised complexity reminiscent of tawny port or aged sherry. Expect notes of walnut, dried apricot, and orange peel with a rich, textured palate balanced by a savoury, slightly tangy edge. It's a wine for sipping slowly, ideally alongside nuts, aged cheese, or a square of dark chocolate.
Serving: Serve at 12–14 °C.
