| Grapes | Sémillon, Sauv Blanc, Muscadelle |
| Origin | France, South West |
| Village | Monbazillac |
| ABV | 12.5% |
With it's higher percentage of Muscadelle, the Pins is always a joy straight out of blocks. Fragrant and enticing with ripe peach, citrus, honey and white flowers. In the mouth there is a gentle orangey citrus intensity, then dried stone fruits, macerated sultanas and creamy honey, all underpinned by a mouthwatering acidity giving lift and balance.

Château Tirecul la Gravière
Monbazillac is well-known in French history. The vineyard is planted with a high percentage of Muscadelle (50%), along with Semillon (45%), and Sauvignon (5%). These grapes are picked grape by grape (as they develop the noble rot), not by bunch. The proprietors, Claudia and Bruno Bilancini, actually pass through the vineyard a minimum of four to five times a day. It is an understatement to say these are the greatest wines I have ever tasted from Monbazillac; in fact, they are among the greatest sweet wines I have tasted ... from anywhere! "Robert Parker"
