Zesty, golden, slick.
The cooperative cellar of the winegrowers of Castelas was created in 1952 when a handful of winegrowers combine efforts to develop the wines of the Cotes du Rhone, Cotes du Rhone Villages Signargues, AOP Tavel and IGP du Gard. The cellar's vineyards covers 450 hectares mainly in Cotes du Rhone with a combined 45 families of cooperative winegrowers.
A blend of Viognier, Roussanne and Grenache Blanc it smells of sweet peaches and apricots, honey, papaya, lemon and fresh herbs. It's a dry and straight-forward white with a slick texture and flavours of yellow fruits and lemon peel along with hints of marzipan, spice and mineral salts. The finish is zesty.
