Guillaume Gonnet, Le Rêveur, Côtes du Rhône Blanc, France
The Gonnet family own a famous estate in Chateauneuf du Pape but Guillaume and his Australian born wife Kelly also make a range of wines from other parts of the Rhône valley from grapes grown for them by friends.
This is a deliciously aromatic white, a blend of Viognier, Grenache Blanc and Roussanne. 100% de-stemmed, with a 15 to 20 day fermentation and maceration in stainless steel with natural yeasts. No malolactic fermentation. 12 months ageing in stainless steel. Grapefruit, apricot, peach, citrus aromas, white floral notes, nice acidity and minerality in the mouth. A lovely saltiness at the end of the pallet.
Lovely with fish and seafood it's also one of favourite wines with cheese, especially young, soft rinded cheeses.
