Magnifique Blanc

Magnifique Blanc has a light golden yellow color with a  vivid and distinct clarity. Along with hints of wet wheat, aromas of fragrant white flowers and stone fruits gently blended with notes of Mediterranean figs and honey, giving it a crisp well rounded mouth with a short burst of grass and citrus as a finish. This delicately unique white wine is best enjoyed cold with seafood and hard cheeses.

Tasting notes

Magnifique Blanc is a bright wine with golden reflections.  On the nose, this unique white brings together citrus and tropical fruit flavors with crisp acidity. A subtle mouth feels with a lot of elegance.

Fresh, crisp and well balanced with a good aromatic expression of orange blossom, honeysuckle, and jasmine. When served at 45°F to 55°F, Magnifique Blanc perfectly pairs with seafood, poultry, aged white cheeses, and deserts.

Food pairing notes

Magnifique Blanc, a uniquely Tunisian innovation is usually paired with seafood like grilled sea bass, garlic prawns, duck pate, Pissaladère, white meat like rotisserie chicken, duck confit, and stuffed game hens, as well as hard cheeses like parmigiano, grana Padano, cheddar and Emmental.

This delicate wine’s bright acidity also makes for a great companion of desserts like creme brulée, stuffed dates, baklava, and chocolate mousse.

Vinification

Harvest of the grapes by hand picking. Each variety is individually harvested, gently crushed and cold fermented in small stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and character and retain the juicy fruit aromas.

The Chardonnay is rich, and firm and The Muscat is wild and exotic they both give a glimpse to the Tunisian individuality.
