Ugni Blanc is a reliable grape variety loved for producing wines that are fresh, lively and wonderfully food friendly. Often associated with the classic styles of Southern France, it’s widely planted because it tends to ripen reliably and perform well in a range of conditions.

In the glass, Ugni Blanc typically shows bright, citrus driven aromatics alongside hints of green apple and pear. Depending on the winemaking approach, you may also find subtle floral notes and a gentle, refreshing texture that makes it ideal for everyday drinking. Many bottlings are crisp and zesty, while others offer a slightly fuller palate when blended or given more time on the lees.

It’s a grape that suits a wide range of occasions, from simple aperitifs to meals with seafood, salads, soft cheeses and lighter pasta dishes. If you enjoy wines that feel clean and invigorating rather than heavy or overly rich, Ugni Blanc is a fantastic choice to explore within our grape based range.

Suggested pairing: try it with grilled prawns, creamy goats’ cheese or a zesty lemon dressing.
