St. Péray, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
21 is a brilliant vintage for N. Rhone whites. The entry level St. Peray from Gripa is something else in this vintage. Nose has yellow fruits, melon, gras, lime zest and loads of granitic intensity. Palate is juicy and luscious with great cut, minerality and freshness. All coated with glorious minerality. Gorgeous.

Outstanding, one of the better from the AOC I have ever had, really can't think of one better I actually have had including Clape

Jun 1st, 2023I love Northern Rhone Whites and defending them will be the hill I die on. Outrageous nose. Spice, musk (old spice??), plantain, rich apricot, honey, wild berries, white cherries, so exotic. Great nose. Palate is round and ripe with great precision and freshness from the brilliant minerality. Complex and juicy. Very pure. Finishes mineral and very fresh. Nose makes you think it might be a gobber but palate is lean and mean. Love this.

I just fucking love this stuff. Pretty. Balanced lush mouthfeel with a racy underpinning.

Deep and lush with nice acidity and that unique Marsanne minerality. Nose of spice pie and exotic Marsanne minerality and hint of tropical fruits. Juicy and lithe with nice texture and good structure. Much more serious than it needs to be. Long. Mineral. Will age for 10-12 years.
