About this product
Coming from terroirs of high limestone terraces with pebbles, this wine is fresh, complex in the mouth with aromas of lemon, marmalade and white peach. Partially fermented and aged in egg-shaped cement vats, this wine has extraordinary length.

Sterimberg is brutally lean and power-packed in 2020, and this shape and
style of Hermitage Blanc harks back to the very first time I tasted this label
in the Eighties. Lean, powerful, sinewy and immensely age-worthy, this is a
thrilling wine, and there is uncommon grace found here, too. (Drink 2024 –

Jasmine, white peaches, apricots, bananas, crushed stones, almonds and lemon pith on the nose. Shells too. It’s medium- to full-bodied with a fresh, vibrant palate. Firm and mineral. From organically grown grapes. Try from 2023.
