L’Inattendue

We wanted to allow the Grolleau Gris grape to express itself in a different and unexpected (‘inattendu’) manner and this fruity sweet wine is the result. Delicious with or without food, whatever you fancy!

Method of vinification:

The grapes are picked entirely by hand and then sorted.
