The Sauvignon Blanc from the Carrière Pradal estate is a perfect inbetween of Loire Valley and modern Sauvignon Blanc. There is some upfront fruit of citrus, passionfruit and gooseberry offset by sea spray minerality. The palate is zippy and fresh with a nice wash of acid that, like a morning dip in the ocean, will leave you feeling fresh and energised.

Carrière Pradal is a family winery located in the heart of the Languedoc. Catherine Carrière-Pradal and her son Baptiste are 7th and 8th generation vignerons who have focused on establishing a beautiful estate with a philosophy built around agroecology. The estate is spread across 60 hectares with a focus on varieties like Grenache (Noir and Blanc), Clairette, Bourboulenc and Picpoul as well as a mix of hedges, fruit trees and other trees planted in between the rows of vines. The winery is certified organic as well as having a high regenerative score and steely determination towards biodiversity. Aside from the efforts on the land, the family make wines under three different labels, their own label as well as Domaine Saint Louis and Domaine de la Massole. Across the brands, there is a focus on classic varieties like Sauvignon Blanc as well as producing off the cuff varieties like Marselan, which is a Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon cross. The vineyards see plenty of sun so there is a bright and sunny disposition to all of the wines along with plenty of character.
