White Wine

The Roussillon and the Regional Lisboa are two up-and-coming regions for white wine, as producers discover them as a source of freshness, depth and age-worthiness. As farming practices improve and finished alcohols come down a little, both regions offer intensity, minerality and sublime food-friendliness, while each expressing their nearby seas in their own special way. The Bucelas DOC is the apotheosis of Arinto, which experts have called the Riesling of Portugal. The rocky valleys of the Roussillon, whether seaside or inland, have yielded white wines that have captivated the world, using autochthonous grapes such as Macabeu and Grenache Blanc.

    12.8% ABV

    ‘La Cuvée Peyre’—‘the stone wine’ in the Occitan dialect of its historic denizens—is a wine of place, of terroir. Predominantly Grenache blanc with a small percentage of Vermentino, it is farmed organically and harvested from the Bourrel family’s schist-laden Espanel vineyard in the high, windswept Agly Valley of northwest Roussillon. Fermentation is in new 220L Allier oak, followed by five months on the lees in INOX, and it is bottled without added sulfites, heightening the wine’s transparent expression. Full details
