Tasting Note:
This ‘vindoux naturel’ has an enticing aroma of flowers, peaches and apricots, which mingle with honey and ripe melon flavours. A seductively luscious, sweet wine that is balanced by beautifully bright, sinuous acidity through to the finish.
Background Information:
The energetic and charismatic Guillaume Gonnet is not your average Rhône winemaker. Extremely open in his attitude, his curious, boundary challenging approach extends beyond wine. He travelled to the far ends of the earth, revelling in the opportunity to surf some of the best waves in the world while learning his craft in various Australian and New Zealand regions. Returning to the Rhône, now with his Australian wife Kelly, Guillaume has shown similar energy for his family estate and for his own nascent project. This land locked surfer may be miles from the ocean but is happily riding the wave of newfound enthusiasm for Grenache based wines. Pursuing biodynamics wherever possible, allowing his fruit to express itself freely through hands-off winemaking and displaying his fascination for the varying soils of the Rhône through his diverse range of wines, he's just the sort of restless creative that we love to work with.
Food Pairing:
Perfect with blue cheeses or pâte, but sublime with fruit based desserts or as an aperitif.
