A new white wine for you to try – the wonderfully fresh and zippy Peewit! Each winter, the Peewit (Northern Lapwing) migrates from the UK to the more temperate and stunningly beautiful region of Gascony in southwest France. It is here that the grapes for this aromatic and fruity Sauvignon Gris are grown.
Sauvignon Gris is a pink-berried mutation of Sauvignon Blanc, known for its rich texture and unique flavour profile. The wines tend to be richer and more voluptuous than those made from Sauvignon Banc.
The winemaker here is Philippe Lebrun, one of the Languedoc’s crop of dynamic, flexible and forward thinking winemakers. Using the best parcels in the area, the quality of Philippe’s wines are truly outstanding and demonstrate just how good wines from this area of France can be. Bringing his experience and know how, and through rigorous selection in the vineyards and perfect control of the winemaking process, Philippe strives for perfection to ensure he delivers the best product possible.
Le Peetwit Sauvignon Gris is fresh and elegant, and offers aromas of white peach and apple blossom, complemented by juicy and zesty acidity on the palate
