About this product
A rare white from the Basque Pyrenees — Gros Manseng from schist terraces on the French-Spanish border. Bone dry with vivid tropical aromatics (guava, passion fruit, mango), lemon zest, Pyrenean herbs, and a schist mineral freshness that prevents any sense of heaviness. An intensely aromatic, site-specific white that has no equivalent elsewhere in France.

The wine's tropical fruit and herbal complexity bridge to Basque smoked sheep's milk cheese. Honey moderates the acidity while walnuts echo its mineral depth.
