{biodynamic} Bourboulenc, Clairette, Vermentino
FLORAL, MINERAL, REFRESHING, CITRUS & HINTS OF TROPICALITY.
Borie la Vitarele, in the heart of the esteemed Saint Chinian region, benefits from the warm climate and clayey-limestone soil and has been organic and biodynamic since 1998. This white Rhone blend, a harder-to-find style, is fresh, dry, unoaked, and silky. Its balanced mineral, gentle white fruit, medium body, and peach notes are as refreshing as a Mediterranean breeze. A fantastic summer sipper on its own or with lighter fare or seafood.
Serving Suggestion: Steamed lobster w/ drawn butter. Panko-fried goat cheese on butter lettuce w/ green apple, toasted almonds & a creamy lemon dressing.
