Graves is a Left Bank Bordeaux region known mostly for its Cabernet Sauvignon-based reds and its gravelly soils, from which the name comes. As is traditional with Bordeaux Blancs this wine is a blend of mostly Semillon (75%) with Sauvignon Blanc (20%) and a touch of Muscadelle (5%). Rich, weighty, waxy and honeyed, the Semillon is balanced by the nerve and punch of Sauvignon Blanc and the pronounced florality of the Muscadelle. Higher-end Bordeaux Blancs see extended barrel aging and lees contact, but this is a fresher style with only eight months of aging in Stainless Steel.
