Tradition Blanc, Chateau Fontareche

Tradition Blanc

Description

A blend of Vermentino, Sauvignon Blanc and Colombard from the Corbieres region of the Languedoc displaying vibrant citrus fruit flavours and a refreshing acidity. The inclusion of Vermentino in the blend makes this a better wine, however also means that this can't be classified as AOC Corbieres, and so is bottled as an IGP Pays d'Oc.
