With a deep passion for his land and region, he has been applying his oenology expertise to ensure quality for many years.

Bright and pale yellow in the glass. The nose displays hints of green apple skin, citrus fruit and fresh cut grass. This bone-dry white shows terrific balance, with refreshing acidity and minerality. The limestone mouthfeel is supplemented by juicy grapefruit aromas on the finish.
Enjoy on its own or with your favourite food: fresh oysters, Pan-Asian fish, fried chicken and vegetable curry.
Wine Merchant Top 100, 2022: "Flora, clean, well balanced; easy to drink. A well-made wine, good value" Brian Elliot, Midweek Wines, June 2021: "It is easy to think of Chenin Blanc as mainly a Loire or South African grape variety but, as this version testifies, it also prospers in Languedoc. Cooler parts of that region produce textured, largely dry white wines with acidic zing like this. Fresh but nicely textured, it provides ripe melon, apple and white peach flavours coupled here with grapefruit verve, ginger elements and just a hint of sweetness"

Jancis Robinson, October 2023, 15.5 points: 'A simple, ripe-orange, fruit-packed Chenin that was great with a simple fish-pie supper, but will go with pretty much anything. A good all-rounder.'
