With mouth-filling notes of green apple, peach and exotic spices, it fuses depth with elegance. The delightful amalgamation of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne lends itself to a balanced acidity, revealing a fresh, mineral-driven finish. A waft of tantalising floral aromas crowns this wine’s character, whilst the seamless integration of oak whispers the mark of skilled winemaking. Perfect for discerning palates, Bonny Doon Le Cigare Blanc brings a slice of American viticulture to your dinner table.

Tasting Notes

The Vermentino really shines in this blend, showing pineapple, lime, mango, pine and wet stones. A delicate and refreshing gulp of wine.
