Imalaya - Carignan Gris 2023

Also very successful in 2023, Imalaya is probably the most appealing cuvée in the white wine range. This rare Carignan Gris, grown on granite at 500m altitude, is the very expression of minerality rounded out by perfectly balanced aromas of menthol, fresh herbs, and citrus.
