"The 2022 Grenache Gris comes from the only vineyard planted in the country, 15% of stems returned to the vat after crushing and aged 11 months in oak (20% new). The attractive nose brings very well-defined pressed yellow flower, jasmine, and light musky aromas. The palate is well-balanced with a sharp citric entry that segues into a texturally satisfying mid-palate, with hints of lemongrass and white pepper decorating the finish. There is an effortlessness to this Grenache Gris that is very appealing."
