Domaine Galuval Le Clavelle No 8 2019

Grenache may be the flavour of the month among discerning drinkers but White Grenache (Grenache Blanc, if you prefer) is yet to take much of a hold here. Wines like this will surely help change that. The fruit here comes from a high altitude vineyard in the Rhône Valley. Under Diam. Deep gold colour, the nose opens with cashews and almonds. Ripe orange rind notes along with white peaches, glacéd lemons, beeswax, dried herbs and a flicker of white chocolate are all present. Quite exotic in style, there is good balance and length and the intensity is maintained throughout. Lots to like here. This should drink beautifully over the next six to ten years.
