WINE DESCRIPTION

Tirecul la Gravière Monbazillac is a sweet white wine produced by the Tirecul la Gravière winery in the Monbazillac appellation of southwestern France. The vineyard is situated on a hillside with a south-facing exposure, allowing for optimal ripening of the grapes. The wine is made from a blend of Sémillon, and Muscadelle grapes, which are hand-harvested and carefully selected for quality. The winemaking process involves a slow fermentation and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a rich and complex wine with notes of honey, apricot, and citrus. This wine is a perfect pairing for desserts or as an aperitif.
