Wow, this white has a lot going for it. There is a bunch of fruit on the nose with rock melon, apple and nectarine driving this wine, offset by a saline grip. The palate settles down with more restrained zesty lemon and a touch of cashew, yet all in all, a wine that will disappear if you aren’t careful.

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, with a focus from classic varieties like Sauvignon Blanc to 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.
