Crouchen is a white grape which originated in the western Pyrenees of France, due to its temperamental nature however, it is no longer there in any quantity. Sauvignon Blanc hails from the picturesque Loire Valley, where it is responsible for the aromatic, deeply flavoured dry white wines of Sancerre and Pouilly Fume. An assemblage of roughly equal components, harvested at a range of ripe sugar baume levels from 11° to 13°, immediately crushed, inoculated and vinified under cool temperature controlled conditions to capture the singular affinity between Crouchen and Sauvignon Blanc. The finished wine is bottled very promptly after completion, to retain all the bright, crisp characters of grapes on the vine. Alcohol 11.0%
