A Wine For Sundays Old Firm match(Part 1)



Okay its a big jump but we have just got in this Petite Gasconne(As in Paul) which is a Vin De Pays Du GERS!



The blend of grapes is very high in Colombard but includes a great a number of the regions other white grapes, and is a great example of what the region can do - it's South West France, under the Armagnac region.


The wine is a wee beauty at only 11.5% abv. On the nose it's quite full bodied but very refreshing, citrus and stone fruits mix together for ultimate enjoyment.



On the palate it's light, zesty, slightly fizzy, off-dry and just crying out for a warm summers day*


We got just over two cases in so jump at it before it's gone.


Don't worry we'll find a Celtic linked wine tomorrow.


*Warm summers day not included.
