Details
This crisp and fresh white blend from the Pays d'Oc is bursting with orchard fruit notes of apple and pear. It's got zippy lemon and soft white peach adding some complexity here too, with a little floral lift of white blossom. It's super easy drinking, and always a winner at the table!
Origin: Nobody really knows, the tradition of blending dates back millennia to when grape varieties were co-planted together. Mainly Grown In: All over the world! Key Facts: Blended wines are nothing new to many of us, they could be red, white, rosé or sparkling, the fact of the matter is, if you’ve drunk wine before, the chances are that you’ve had a blended wine. Simply put, this is a blend of more than one grape variety. Whilst this might not actually be a grape variety in its own right, it is important to highlight some of the world’s most famous blended wines and regions. We start with Bordeaux, an area in southwest France that relies almost exclusively on blended red and white wine utilising several grape varieties. Then we have Rhône in southern France, notably the southern part of the region, famous for blended red and white wines under the Côtes du Rhône banner. Or perhaps Champagne, the world’s most famous fizz is predicated on the use and blending of three core grape varieties. That said, perhaps the spiritual home of blended wine is France, but it is now almost impossible to find a wine-producing country anywhere in the world that doesn't blend. Fun Fact: Blended wines are like symphonies, where different grape varieties come together to create a harmonious and balanced flavour profile. Winemakers skilfully blend different grapes to enhance each other's characteristics.

Pairing guide
This is the kind of white you reach for when you want crunch and freshness. Its green apple snap and lemony acidity make it brilliant with oysters, grilled prawns with a squeeze of citrus, or a simple plate of salt cod fritters and aioli. It would also shine with a goat’s cheese and pear salad, plenty of fresh herbs and a sharp vinaigrette. For something vegan, think asparagus and lemon risotto, or a shaved fennel, green apple and dill salad with toasted almonds. The wine’s high acidity will slice through creamy textures and dressings, while those delicate white blossom notes play beautifully with fresh herbs. Keep it light, keep it zesty, and serve it well chilled.

Wine region

Pays d'Oc, France
Pays d'Oc is a wine region located in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. It is known for producing a wide variety of wine styles, including red, white, rosé, and sparkling wines. The region has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, which allows for the production of full-bodied red wines made from grape varieties such as Syrah, Grenache, and Carignan. Pays d'Oc also produces aromatic white wines made from grape varieties such as Viognier and Chardonnay, as well as crisp rosé wines made from Grenache and Cinsault. The region is known for its innovative winemaking techniques and is home to a number of small, artisanal wineries but is also one of France's most important regions in terms of its output.
