Wow, this white has a lot going for it. There is a bunch of fruit on the nose with rock melon, apple and nectarine driving this wine, offset by a saline grip. The palate settles down with more restrained zesty lemon and a touch of cashew, yet all in all, a wine that will disappear if you aren’t careful.

Carrière Pradal is a family winery located in the heart of the Languedoc. Catherine Carrière-Pradal and her son Baptiste are 7th and 8th generation vignerons who have focused on establishing a beautiful estate with a philosophy built around agroecology. The estate is spread across 60 hectares with a focus on varieties like Grenache (Noir and Blanc), Clairette, Bourboulenc and Picpoul as well as a mix of hedges, fruit trees and other trees planted in between the rows of vines. The winery is certified organic as well as having a high regenerative score and steely determination towards biodiversity. Aside from the efforts on the land, the family make wines under three different labels, their own label as well as Domaine Saint Louis and Domaine de la Massole. Across the brands, there is a focus on classic varieties like Sauvignon Blanc as well as producing off the cuff varieties like Marselan, which is a Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon cross. The vineyards see plenty of sun so there is a bright and sunny disposition to all of the wines along with plenty of character.
