The 2019 Ixsir Grande Réserve Blanc is a blend of 60% Viognier, this being the estate’s principal white variety, complemented by 25% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Chardonnay. It was aged in 15% new oak, 30% second-fill barrels and 55% third-fill barrels. In the glass it has a polished lemon-gold hue, while the nose is dominated by the aromas of sweet tropical fruits, lifted with intriguing orange zest and citrus pith complexities, along with the scents of chamomile and mint. The palate continues with a sweet sense of ripeness, but this is countered by an interesting touch of bitterness which adds lift and freshness.
