Details
The Occitanes range is devoted to the South-West of France, different from the rest with its own culture and style. Their white is made from Sauvignon Blanc with the end result being a delightful wine with a touch of passionfruit and lemon and delicate finish.

Located on the outskirts of the stunningly beautiful city of Toulouse, the region of Fronton is a quaint region that flies under the radar of most wine enthusiasts. It isn’t flashy or bright with fancy varieties or old wealth, this is farming land where the wineries focus on local varieties and keeping to traditions. Enter the Arbeau family, who have a winery located in the town of Labastide-Saint-Peirre, literally wedged inbetween narrow streets that are sure to cause moments of panic for any tourist in a rental car. Anne and Géraud Arbeau have transformed their century old winery into a marvel, adapting their local varieties into the fast paced world of modern drinking with bright labels and equally bright wines. They not only source from Fronton, which gives them access to the local Négrette but also source from the surrounding South-West regions of Gaillac, Madiran and Cahors amongst others to showcase the delights that usually only feature a couple of paragraphs in any french wine book.

Pairing guide
Few taste sensations compare with the thrill of sipping a quality chilled Sauvignon Blanc while tucking into some homemade food, and this bottle from Famille Arbeau has what it takes to truly deliver when it comes to flavour and food-friendliness. We absolutely love this brisk white wine with simple white fish dishes, especially when served with a herb sauce or a lemon butter, but it’s also great with green vegetables like asparagus, artichoke, and broad beans. Soft cheeses and goat’s cheeses will work wonders here, as will grilled chicken salads, spicy rice noodle dishes, and spring vegetable risotto.
