As soon as you see the wine poured you will love it!
It is thick and black…
100% Cabernet Franc. The age of the vines is around 55-80 years.
When you first look at the glass of wine you know you are going to love it – Intense…!
The nose is powerful in it’s complexity. Fruity!
This wonderful cuvée is chocabloc full of rich red summer fruit. Blackcurrants and raspberries just fill the mouth and refuse to go away! And, just a hint of grilled nuts.
Of course it will pair beautifully with any lamb dish starting with the Sunday roast leg of lamb, but just imagine it with meze, kleftico, lamb & potato pie, roast beef, venison, mulligatawny soup, the list is endless.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans
Of course, totally Unoaked!
Aromatic, with a lively raspberry note and a hint of blackcurrant leaf and pepper. A great match for aged Gouda, lamb meatballs and premium sausages.
