 With things returning to the normal routine (schools back in session, construction done on the Hydraulic Road roundabout) we wanted to feature a really tasty 'everyday' white wine. We also wanted to bring attention to a label change/rebranding of a long time store favorite. Under the label of Alain de la Treille this has been a source of great value for many vintages out of the Loire. Same source, same juice, and most importantly same quality for the price, just new appearance on the outside. Classic Chenin Blanc aroma of juicy pear and baked apple with a hint of honeycomb that always seems to signal the uniqueness of Vouvray. Nothing intensive, but in balance and completely pleasant. The palate is equally juicy, loaded with pear fruit in a creamy, off-dry sort of fruitiness, but with plenty of tingly acidity that brings a pear skin type dry note to the finish that feels more persistent with each sip. Completely enjoyable pop-and-pour wine for any occasion and any season.
