Domaine Brana - Herri Mina Blanc | Irouléguy
White wine | France, SUD OUEST | 2024
This wine shines with its pale colour and subtle golden reflections. On the nose, it reveals a complex bouquet of grapefruit, passion fruit and orange zest, with white flowers in the background. The palate is aromatic, linear and harmonious. If the wine is not served too cold, it gains a fuller and rounder mouthfeel.

About Dom. Brana
The Brana family began as a wine trading business in 1897, now four generations ago. They are based in the French Basque Country, around Irouléguy and Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. Later, in the 20th century, they established a wine estate, and in 1974 a distillery was added. They produce both wine and spirits, which is quite typical for small artisanal producers in this region.
Their wines mainly come from the Irouléguy appellation, one of the smallest wine appellations in France. Production is strongly focused on terroir and sustainable/organic farming. Their spirits are now considered among the best produced in this field in France. The estate covers 23 hectares in total, of which 16 hectares are vineyards.
