The Wine
Cabalié's popularity is down to a rare combination of imposing richness and easy drinking smoothness. Recreating that in white was no easy task. But Cabalié maestro Hervé Sabardeil has done it - years of searching, blending and hard work come to fruition in this, his ultimate expression of a southern French white. The magical grape mix is Viognier for honeysuckle aroma and soft texture, Muscat for dazzlingly aromatic grapey notes, and Colombard to keep it all crisp and zesty. And of course the other key ingredients are bright southern French sunshine, which ripens the grapes to perfection, and the Mediterranean breezes, which keep them fresh and healthy. Bursting with tropical fruit, Cabalié is perfect with grilled seafood or chicken.
