Gascony, France - 11% abv
 
A charming, approachable expression of southern French white wine, with a soft, off-dry style. Aromas of ripe pear, honeysuckle, and white peach lead into a palate that is gently sweet but well-balanced by fresh acidity. Subtle notes of melon, citrus zest, and a hint of floral spice round out the finish, making it easy-drinking yet characterful.
 
This demi-sec pairs beautifully with lightly spiced Asian cuisine - think Thai green curry or sweet-and-sour dishes - as well as soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert. It also complements fruit-based desserts, such as poached pears or an apricot tart, thanks to its gentle sweetness and freshness.
