The nose is highly expressive and instantly captivating, bursting with a vibrant bouquet of pink grapefruit peel, lemon flesh, and juicy white peach, beautifully interwoven with notes of fresh-cut nettles, wild garden herbs, and a clear undertone of chalky flint. On the palate, it strikes a beautiful balance: while it offers a light-to-medium frame with a juicy, fleshier core of pineapple and stone fruits, it completely avoids any aggressive, enamel-stripping sourness. Instead, its crisp, vibrant line of natural acidity carries the fruit smoothly across the tongue, sailing into a long, generous finish defined by a clean, mouthwatering saline mineral snap. \u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ideal Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67694678933581,"sku":"cex1792018496397","price":19.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0712\/7937\/8509\/files\/clos-roussely-lescale-sauvignon-blanc_1.png?v=1792018502","url":"https:\/\/flannelgridj.shop\/products\/clos-roussely-lescale-sauvignon-blanc","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
