"Le Cheval Marin" - translates as The Sea Horse - it is winemaker Elizabeth Prataviera's signature blend from the best, selected parcels of the Haut-Marin estate. This white wine includes 60% Colombard, 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Gros Manseng.
Layers of acacia flowers, ripe peach, grapefruit and pineapple with a mineral aspect. Lovely and round, the Gros Manseng adding body and weight, it is complex with an elegant finish.
Pair this with grilled goats cheese salad, pan-fried salmon or courgette and lemon zest risotto. The aromatic aspect of the wine mean it could even stand up to some subtle asian spiced grilled chicken.
The town of Cahors, located in the South West, was a center of the wine trade in medieval times and was known for its "black wine", which was highly sought after by European nobility.
Another South West town, Gaillac, has been producing wine for over 2,000 years, with evidence of vineyards dating back to the Roman era.
Elizabeth Prataveira is the 4th generation winemaker and owner of Domaine Haut Marin. She works alongside her brother Philippe who focuses on caring for the vineyards.
For over 100 years, beginning with Jean Francois Morel in 1920, the Prataviera-Jegerlehner family has worked with passion in their vineyards in Gascony.
