17% Piquepoul Blanc grapes used and NOT Palamino (not on list of grape varieties) Good rainfall and favourable climatic conditions during the growing season allowed for good flowering and fruit set. Most vineyards had healthy canopies and delivered higher yields, and the ripening period was nicely spread out due to the cool, moderate conditions during summer. The even ripening conditions delivered beautiful fruit packed with flavour and concentration, with good natural acidity and balance.
