  Wine Cellar - South of France (Wine Cellar): (Tasted Blind): Light yellow, with a noted reductive edge of ammoniac, skunk and slowly but surely some floral notes. A light, funky character, the acid is medium, not lively and was softer than anticipated. Lots of blossom, some peach and nectarine with a more Forelle pear to pear blossom. The finish is a little more refreshing despite the unusual acid (apparently this grape is quite acidic) but closes with a cheese rind quality that was less exciting!
  Loin de L'Oeil (far from the eye) is a white wine grape native to the Gaillac region of Southwest France. Its name signifies the grape's characteristic of having its bunches grow out far from the main vine on extended shoots.
