Richly layered fresh apples and mountain flowers. Silverly mineral and naked acidity. Bone dry and good concentration. Overall, not too far from classical savennierres. Noticeable oak is well counterbalanced by big fruit. Finishes saline and long.

Had it as part of the annual wine tasting. A nice Grenache (and fair disclosure, I do not have a lot of those)- Light bright color, with orange touch. Citrus on the nose. Dry. Light peach. Refreshing. Great summer wine. Don't hold. Drink.

An interesting Grenache Blanc in that it has, have been told, some partial skin contact.
I wasn't a fan of one of the earlier releases of D&G orange wines, but this shows the clear benefit of blending skin contact into normallly vinified, such as Anthony Yount of Kinero does regularly with his Grenache Blanc & Roussanne releases.
Released under screwcap. Color is a slightly hazy, light - medium yelllow. Nose of seashells, citrus rind, Palate is tart white peach, citrus, jalapeno (non spicy)
Some minor tartrates at bottom of bottle. (bravo.)
a pleasant, interesting, very drinkable, quite different version of GB. well done. Need to get out & taste the whole lineup.
