2021 Patelin de Tablas Blanc Tablas Creek Vineyard
£28.00
“The 2021 Patelin de Tablas Blanc is made up of 54% Grenache Blanc, 29% Viognier, 9% Marsanne, 7% Roussanne and 1% Bourboulenc. It features lush, inviting scents of baked quince, burnt lemon, honey, roasted almonds and streaks of flint. The medium-bodied palate is silky and seamless with a core of floral fruit and a long, latent finish. All those savory undertones suggest this has more to give with another year or two in bottle.”

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.
‘Patelin’ is French slang for ‘neighbourhood’. The ‘Patelin de Tablas’ wines are produced from fruit sourced from numerous, small neighbouring vineyards that Tablas Creek know and respect. All of the sites were planted with cuttings from the Tablas Creek nursery and are farmed sustainably. The different parcels experience the cool coastal breezes of the Templeton Gap and high-altitude influence of El Palomar, as well as the warmer inland temperatures of the Estrella district. These sites provide structured, mineral-laced fruit and excellent acidity.
