A sweet, fortified aperitif. It emits notes of fresh fruit, peach and fig and offers a sense of scale with its aromas of dried fruit, almonds, walnuts and quince. Served chilled.
Pineau was born by accident in the 16th century when a dreamy and distracted winemaker had filled a barrel with wine must which contained some cognac. The wine grower forgot about the barrel in the cellar, only to discover a beautiful aperitif a few years later.
A deep, old gold, white pineau provides a feeling of fullness with dry fruit flavours, almond, walnuts and quince.
Domaine Gardrat Pineau des Charentes Blanc is a fine delicate wine that is enjoyed chilled as an aperitif.
