2018 Esprit de Tablas Blanc Tablas Creek Vineyard
£44.00
“Pale yellow. A complex, mineral-accented bouquet evokes ripe citrus and orchard fruits, buttered toast and pungent flowers, and a fennel nuance emerges with air. Shows impressive depth and clarity, offering intense orange, pear nectar, sweet butter and chamomile flavors that tighten up slowly on the back half. Powerful yet graceful in style, displaying sharp focus and minerally lift on a long, penetrating finish that features lingering floral and orchard fruit notes.

Product Description
Tablas Creek was founded in 1987 by the Perrin family of Château de Beaucastel, and the Haas family, owners of the US importer Vineyard Brands. After many years travelling across the United States together to promote the Perrin wines, Robert Haas and Jacques Perrin agreed that California’s climate was ideally suited to the Rhône’s native grape varieties and decided to establish their own winery.
The Esprit de Tablas is produced from 100% estate fruit. Located twelve miles from the Pacific Ocean and with an average altitude of 450 metres above sea level, the estate’s hot and sunny days are tempered by cool nights, resulting in fully ripe grapes with fresh acidity. Its shallow, rocky and limestone-rich soils are based on the same geologic origins as the Beaucastel vineyards.
