The terroir at Domaine de Guillaman is a mix of clay and limestone soils, which give the wine its lively acidity and subtle minerality. The temperate oceanic climate of the region brings abundant sunshine, balanced by cooling breezes from the Atlantic, providing the perfect conditions for both Colombard and Sauvignon Blanc. This particular blend offers a vibrant and refreshing expression of these two varietals, combining the aromatic flair of Colombard with the zesty brightness of Sauvignon Blanc.

Appearance: A pale, straw yellow with faint greenish highlights, clear and vibrant in the glass.

Aroma: Fresh and lively, with bright citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, underscored by hints of green apple, pear, and a touch of fresh-cut grass.

Taste: Crisp and zesty, the palate is dominated by citrus flavours like lemon and lime, supported by refreshing green apple and subtle tropical hints. It’s light-bodied with a crisp acidity that gives the wine a lively, refreshing feel.

Finish: The finish is clean, crisp, and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus zest and a gentle mineral edge.

Food Pairing: This wine pairs exceptionally well with a light ceviche, where its natural acidity complements the citrus in the dish while enhancing the freshness of the fish. It also makes a great match with a goat’s cheese salad, where the wine’s grassy notes from the Sauvignon Blanc blend harmonise beautifully with the creamy tang of the cheese
