WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Tempier Bandol Blanc is a white wine produced by the iconic Domaine Tempier in the Bandol appellation of Provence, France. Like all wines made by the estate, the white is highly sought-after. The vineyards farmed according to biodynamic principles are situated on steep hillsides with a mix of limestone and clay soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The grapes used in the blend are Clairette, Ugni Blanc, and Rolle, with Rolle being the Provencal name for Vermentino, which are hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit. The resulting wine is crisp and refreshing, with notes of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of salinity. It is a perfect match for seafood dishes and summer salads.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Tempier
Region: Provence
Nestled in the south of France, Provence is a Mediterranean paradise for wine lovers. With its stunning landscapes, mild climate, and rich history, Provence as a wine region is more than just the home to refreshing holiday rosé wines.
The history of winemaking in Provence dates back to the ancient Greeks, who first planted vines in the region in 600 BC. Since then, the region has become renowned for its unique terroir and its production of high-quality wines. In the 19th century, the region experienced a period of decline due to the phylloxera epidemic, but it has since recovered and is now one of the most important wine regions in France.CUSTOMER RATING
