The vineyards used to make the Big Beltie Sauvignon Blanc are located in Southwest France surrounded by the mountains of the Massif Central and the Pyrenees. The Côtes de Gascogne area is home to a wide range of terroirs, allowing countless potential of indigenous varietals from the region. The winemaking process is all about preserving and enhancing the harvested grapes freshness and aroma. Grapes are collected early in the morning while temperatures are low. They undergo a cold soaking to extract their beautiful aroma. The wine spends 4 months ageing on fine lees before bottling.
Vivid lemon-green in colour. On the nose are delicate aromas of lemon blossom, green apple and grapefruit. The taste extremely refreshing, crisp and dry. The finish explodes with citrus fruit and lingers in your mouth. Enjoy on its own or try with risotto or warm goats cheese salad.
The producer, Frederic Garrabou was born in the small village of Limoux, situated amongst the Languedoc vineyards. His father and both his grandfathers were vine growers, and he grew up immersed in the vineyards, assisting his father from a young age. The cultivation of vines has always captivated him, as he believes that the finest wines are crafted in the vineyard.
