Details and technical informations about Domaine Malet's Valençay Blanc.
Discover the grape variety: Gravesina
Simple, fresh dry grey-whites with a pale pink robe with copper skin, a supple palate with moderate acidity on undemonstrative citrus and white flower aromas. Discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections, it belongs to the ancient varieties with patrimonial value whose commercial diffusion has virtually disappeared and which are studied for their genetic interest. Rare and poorly documented grey variety, grown in confidential quantities.
