A light, fresh Vouvray from the horse guy!
The aroma is full of fruit, with citrus zest, lots of stone fruit, and a touch of florals. On the palate are flavours of ripe apples, stone fruit, melon, honey and beeswax, and brioche. Light bodied, fresh acidity holding it all together, and a long, clean finish.

THE PRODUCER
The horse guy. Alexandre is the newest vigneron in Vouvray but has been well implanted in the world of winemaking for over a decade. He has been training horses to work in the vineyard and has travelled across France with these horses to help others cultivate in this way. He is native to Vouvray and so it seemed logical for him, after his years of travel, to come back and work his block of land in this way. He makes Vouvray and Gamay in his own vineyard of 3 hectares
