Domaine des Herbauges, Grolleau Gris, Loire Valley, France 2021
{sustainable} 100% Grolleau Gris
PEACH BLOSSOM & STRAWBERRY, TONGUE-TINGLING, ZESTY MINERAL
Grolleau Gris is the lighter-skinned variant of a once-ubiquitous Loire grape responsible for many crisp rosés and light-bodied reds, yet it’s not often encountered. Made in very limited quantities, this rendition makes up for all the years that we didn’t know what we were missing. It’s a not-quite-effervescent white with mouthwatering acidity, summer fruits, and the excitement that comes from drinking exotic wine.
Serving Suggestion: Sushi w/ red snapper, salmon, pickled plum, & cucumber. Fried fish tacos w/ radish slaw. Vegetable bibimbap w/ fried egg & mild sauce.
