The Le Phant Blanc is a unique character, to be sure. A blend of three aromatic varieties, the grapes were hand-picked and hand-sorted for only the best in what was otherwise a challenging vintage. Viognier, pinot gris and gewurztraminer are varieties growing in popularity (and rightly so, it's about time New Zealand's palate was broadened) but blending them together creates complexities and subtleties that are something quite delicious. The floral notes hit you, along with subtle spice and sweetness that doesn't cloy, but has a slightly off-dry finish. This is screaming out for chilli prawns straight off the barbecue, or anything with a lime/chilli/coriander profile. Our tastebuds were singing happy summer songs.
