2011 Le Soula Blanc, VDP Cotes Catalanes Vin de Pays des Cotes Catalanes

Looking first at the white, the Cotes Catalanes Le Soula Blanc is based on Macabeu, Sauvignon, Grenache Blanc and Chardonnay (there’s also some Malvoisie and Vermentino in there), and sees 21 months in a mix of tank and demi-muids. It offers a juicy, lively and slightly exotic style to go with ample citrus blossom, brioche, toasted bread, spice and hints of minerality. Medium-bodied, clean, with good acidity and a dry finish.
