GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard GOLD MEDAL: Elle à Table
Classic white Bordeaux blend of 62% Sauvignon Blanc, 38% Sémillon, the Chateau de Cathalogne 2022 has an attractive light golden colour with greenish reflections. On the nose the deep, intense aroma of the wine reveals notes of grapefruit, white peach and flowers. On the palate the wine has a soft, refreshing, rounded flavour with balanced acidity, citrus shades and harmonious aftertaste.
"Intensely aromatic nose of Granny Smith apple, nectarine and jasmine notes. Moving through to the palate the intensity lingers and balanced out with a lively crisp acidity with a long clean finish. It's one of those wines that makes you hungry!" – 92 Points, Wine Direct Tasting Team
I enjoyed the wine in so far as it is well rounded - the taste of black fruit evident - not sure about the liquorice though. All in all for the price a pleasant easy drinking wine.
Super ripe very smooth dry red, with just a hint of Cherries in that Italian style and You are able to drink this wine with or without food, Very good value at $20.
We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.
