Sainsbury's, Taste the Difference Discovery Collection Luberon, Rhône, France 2023

What a find! This Rhône blend is new to the Sainsbury's range this summer and hugely overdelivers for the price. Unoaked and mostly Vermentino (with Grenache Blanc, Ugni Blanc and others) it kicks off with breezy citrus, mineral and grassy aromas. Lipsmacking citrus and fresh green notes on the palate are rounded out with hints of honey and dried herbs, underpinned by a mineral streak, with a long crisp finish. A versatile summer white, with or without food.
