Maison Ventenac Marie White Blend 2020
- Light, aromatic
- France
This is a delicious and refreshing white from Maison Ventenac, who are quickly becoming one of our favourite French producers. It’s a wine full of intense and vibrant fruit - citrus generally, grapefruit specifically, bringing tightness and freshness. There is a mineral, almost saline edge to the wine that adds interest and makes it a great wine for food matching. We’re thinking prawn cocktail, sashimi with finger lime and the freshest oysters you can find, with a squeeze of lemon.

Looks like this is either a wine sourced from various regions in France or it's from a smaller region that we haven't gotten around to writing about for you yet! If it's the former, well, it's hard to make general comments about a multi-regional French wine. So let's assume it's the latter: we've been lazy. Forgive us, there's only two of us, and we're mere mortals. We'll get round to writing something inspirational about this obscure (hopefully, otherwise we're in trouble) region eventually. Meanwhile, shoot in your suggestions (and your resume?), or just rejoice in the fact that there's something magical about heading off the beaten track and telling your friends all about that amazing grape that grows in the hinterlands of a place that doesn't even make it on the map – or Vinomofo's regional writeup section, at least.
