La Colombette Vin de France Souvignier Muscaris
£12.75
Taste
Ripe with tropical and well balanced fruit
Aroma
Expressive with bountiful appealing fresh fruits
Description
Product Code: CFB49
Made from 50% Souvignier and 50% Muscaris, which are both hybrid PIWI varieties that originated in Germany to help growers deal with vine diseases in an environmentally friendly way and without spraying at all. It’s here in southern France with the exceptional climatic conditions that these grapes can reach their full potential. Golden in colour, the expressive aromas of this unique white are a real fruit basket, with melon, citrus and herbs to the fore. On the palate, the tropical fruit flavours are surprisingly rich, yet lively and well balanced. You may not know the varieties yet, but you’ll love this wine!
- Featured by Tom Cannavan, “This feather-light, 11% alcohol wine is made from 50% Souvignier and 50% Muscaris, two new ‘PiWi’ disease-resistant varieties. Souvignier is a cross between Seyval blanc and Zähringer, Muscaris is a cross of Solaris and Muscat. Light golden colour, the Muscat aromatics are powerful, green herbs, hedgerow and flowers over ripe summer melon. The palate has texture and plenty of sweet fruit. This may have a touch of residual sugar I think – it is sweeter than the Cabernet Blanc also tasted – but it also has a sweep of acidity and that herbal streak that keeps it balanced and fresh.” (2023 vintage)
