2006 Vacqueyras Blanc Mineral, Montirius

Montirius is beautifully situated in the southern Rhône Valley with vine classifications in Gigondas, Vacqueyras and Côtes du Rhône.  Since 1999, all of the wines are made from Organic and Bio-dynamic grapes.  Mineral Blanc is made from 50% Bourboulenc, 25% Roussanne and 25% Grenache Blanc with the name deriving from the salty mineral taste that intensifies as the wine ages in bottle.
