Domaine de Fontlade
Côtes de Provence
80% Rolle (Vermentino), 20% White Grenache
A golden white wine with both a fresh and mellow expression. Yellow peaches, apricots, just a hint of pineapple, candied fruits, and soft spices combine themselves in this harmonious wine that retains a lovely acidity. This wine ages graciously.
