Think gravel deposited by the Garonne some 600,000 years ago, a sunny south-facing slope and a vineyard where biodiversity matters as much as what's in the glass. Herbicides are out; traditional vineyard knowledge is very much in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Humble Grape","offers":[{"title":"375ml","offer_id":58994915639670,"sku":null,"price":31.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Case of 6 x 375ml","offer_id":58994915672438,"sku":null,"price":190.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Case of 12 x 375ml","offer_id":58994915705206,"sku":null,"price":381.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2559\/9452\/files\/LieutenantdeSigalasSauternes_4375bff8-c2c3-4170-9b52-374101644697.png?v=1791988929","url":"https:\/\/shop.humblegrape.co.uk\/products\/le-lieutenant-de-sigalas-2020-sauternes-bordeaux-france-copy","provider":"Humble Grape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
