Felicette, Blanc, Pays D’oc, France

Named in honour of Felicette, the first cat in space, and made to explore less explored regions and varieties, this is an easy drinking white from the Languedoc. Using Grenache Blanc and a little Viognier it’s fresh and fruity with hints of white flowers, mango and spice. A bit of time on fine lees gives added weight and texture and makes the wine great to drink with salads, fish and shellfish or with white meats. Not built as a wine to keep for a long time, it’s best drunk while relatively youthful within a year or so of vintage.
