Altos del Conde 2006 - £6.15

Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.
Domaine de Rhodes is made in the style of white Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

Early morning picking has preserved aromas and freshness in this mouthfilling white that recently out-performed many star names at the International Wine Challenge. Lovely golden colour gives a clue to the peachy aroma and ripe apricot and nectarine flavours which follow. Creamy and rich with a crisp finish. Brilliant with all kinds of seafood or chicken dishes.

Great to quaff on it own; equally tasty with chicken, salmon or spicy vegetable stir-fry.''
