Wine of the week: A summer tax free favourite

This is one of my "go to wines" when tax free opportunities show themselves. 
I've been a sworn fan of white Rhône wines since I discovered them some years back. Only 10% of the wines produced in the Rhône valley are white ones, but most of them hold good to very good quality.
​
Guigal is a huge producer of wines in the Rhône area, but despite producing on a large scale, Guigal manages to deliver all over excellent quality.

At the tax free in Norway you can get this bottle for only 114 NOK, which is a scoop. Perfect for a moody summer, as this versatile bottle suits many food pairings, as well as drinking excellent by it self.

Tasting notes

Guigal Côte du Rhône Blanc 2017 - 114kr (Tax free) / 179Kr (Polet)

Light golden yellow. 
Smells of yellow fruits, pineapple, apricots and honey. Tropical and intense; a crowd pleaser on the nose.

Rich in the mouth, with good intensity. Yellow fruits, butter and nuts. 
A bold and beautiful wine, with a rich and long finish.

Food
Will go excellent to many dishes. Poultry, pork and even spicy dishes from the east. Try it with sushi :)
