The hopping is pure starglow energy, with Chinook to bitter and late and dry additions of Citra and Amarillo.
A zesty, light-bodied Sauvignon Blanc that's perfect for a summer barbecue with undemanding friends. Don't expect any hidden depths to this wine; it's simple but classic, crisp and varietal.
A custom cuvée for European Cellars and a joint project between Eric Solomon and Jean-Marc Lafage, Bastide Miraflors is a cuvée created from old vine Grenache (30%) grown on the schist and granite soils of Saint-Paul de Fenouillet, a terroir that always ripens late in the year, and Syrah (70%) from gravelly soils near the Mediterranean. After a long maceration of six weeks, the wine ages for 12 months in roughly 3/4 concrete vats and 1/4 600L French oak demi-muids.
