Gascony: While the rolling hills of Gascony are best known for the Three Musketeers and fiery spirit we know as Armagnac, this idyllic region of France is home to an increasing number of quality red and white table wines at truly bargain prices. The white wines of Gascony, an appellation best known for its rich soil and the production of fresh, aromatic wines, is located just south and east of Bordeaux. Cepages: Colombard and Ugni Blanc (aka Folle Blanche, Trebbiano) About the Producer: The Morel family has overseen this vineyard since 1920 and has over 250 acres of vines dedicated to the production of exceptional white wines. At Domaine d'Uby the harvest is conducted at night in order to preserve the fresh fruity flavors of the grapes. This family vineyard is a member of the Independent Vignerons - independent winemakers.
Tasting Notes: A flavorful, but crisp, clean and delightfully refreshing warm-weather white. It shows zesty, fresh citrus, pear and apricot aromas backed by hints of melon and fresh herbs. The flavors are crisp and bright with surprising depth for such an affordable bottling. Zesty melon and peach fruits are enhanced by elements of almond and citrus. The finish is fresh and clean. Very balanced and versatile. Recommended Food Pairings: An exceptional and versatile wine that pairs equally well with Salads, Seafood and Fish, as with Poultry and goat cheeses.
Awards: The Morels are exceptionally talented and have consistently won awards and glowing recommendations in Guide Hachette as well as a gold medal at the Paris Concours in 2008.
