Ugni Blanc
Ugni Blanc is a white grape variety that originated in Italy (where it's known as Trebbiano) but is now widely grown in France, particularly in the Cognac and Armagnac regions. It produces light-bodied, crisp wines with high acidity and subtle flavors of citrus, green apple, and herbs, often showing mineral notes. While it thrives in warm Mediterranean climates, Ugni Blanc is primarily used for distillation into brandy and as a blending component in white wines where its neutrality and acidity provide structure.

Mary Taylor - Gessler - Cotes de Gascogne Blanc
Mary Taylor's partnership with the Gessler family brings us this delightful white from Gascony – a region in Southwest France perhaps better known for Armagnac but also home to some of the country's most refreshing and value-driven whites. This blend showcases the bright, aromatic character that makes Côtes de Gascogne wines such perfect warm-weather companions. The combination of Colombard's crisp acidity, Sauvignon Blanc's aromatic lift, and Ugni Blanc's subtle texture creates a wine that's both straightforward and genuinely interesting. The Gessler family has deep roots in the region, allowing them to source exceptional fruit from vineyards perfectly suited to these varieties. Mary Taylor's mission to highlight authentic regional wines at fair prices makes this bottle a standout value – delivering the kind of everyday refreshment that makes you wonder why you'd ever pay more for basic white wine. Perfect for casual sipping, seafood feasts, or making Tuesday night dinner feel a little more special.
