Côtes-du-Rhône "Les Abelhas" 2025 Domaine Saint-Étienne

A white Côtes-du-Rhône from Domaine Saint-Étienne, made from vines grown on soils rich in clay and siliceous pebbles. The pebbles store heat while the clay holds enough water, so the grapes ripen well and keep their acidity. The wine is fresh, lively and vivid, and is made from a single grape variety and aged in steel. Golden with greenish reflections. The nose is broad, with pear and pineapple alongside fennel and hawthorn. The palate is generous, layered and persistent. It goes well with fish carpaccio and shellfish.
