Details
Like a citrus disco in your mouth - lemon, lime cordial, and a green apple doing the worm. Smells a bit like pear drops and sweet talk, but it’s bone dry, razor-sharp, and leaner than your mate after a juice cleanse. Super light, super fresh, with a little saline hit on the finish. Absolute poolside slurper.

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 skillfully blend different grapes to enhance each other's characteristics.

Pairing guide
This citrus-charged white is basically a liquid lime - perfect alongside zingy ceviche with mango and coriander, where the saltiness and acidity in both the dish and the wine high-five each other all the way down. Going vegan? Vietnamese rice paper rolls packed with tofu, crunchy veg, and fresh herbs, dipped in a sweet-sour nuoc cham-style sauce, are an absolute flavour bomb with this wine’s bright, breezy energy.
