Description
La Colonel 2025 is a natural wine crafted by , in the Languedoc region in . This white wine is made with 100% grapes.
This is a rich, creamy white, and is mildly oily in a way we are very happy about and comes with a soft lactic edge to it. Butter, meadow flowers and a hint of mint, a golden colour and a faint oxidative lift come behind the fruit, finishing on linden flower and acacia.
More rounded and classic than a lot of natural whites while still tasting unmistakably like one, and there is enough weight here that you will sip rather than gulp. If wanting to pair this with food, a good option could be roast chicken, mushrooms or a plate of hard cheese.
Made from 100% Grenache Blanc from eighteen-year-old vines, La Colonel is grown on on half a hectare of miocene sandstone and deep sandy clay at 110 metres on north-west facing slopes. Hand-picked and pressed straight off, fermented in tank and raised six months, with a small sulphur addition at bottling kept under 15mg/L.
