La Marina is Domaine de Menard’s top white and is made up of the traditional grapes of the region. It’s a cuvee that you don’t see around very much (60% Colombard, 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Gros Manseng) but that clearly works here. A melange of tropical fruit, quince and grapefruit, this little white seems the perfect summer option.

An intense, catty wine, this has gooseberry flavors and tight, crisp acidity. Hints of black currants come through as well as freshness. The wine is ready to drink.
