Le Franc 2022 Grape|Blauer PortugieserFrom Olivier's prized old vines of massale selection Cabernet Franc, grafted by his grandfather in the late 40s. As you'd expect, Le Franc demonstrates vin de garde qualities that suggest a long life ahead in the cellar we're happy to offer some with a little cellar time, from the 2022 vintage. De stemmed, foot crushed and fermented in an open topped wooden vat, it was then pressed and run by gravity into old demi muid barrels to rest for 18 months
Real-deal Marsala from a producer widely regarded to be the master of the style
Shrub is a kind of ancient
but here you can appreciate how magical it can be when fermented dry
All peaches and cream
those buying up grapes from many different growers and then producing the wine to a signature house style that wasn't really in-keeping with our leaning towards expressions of smaller vineyard sites
The world of wine is vast
or like a dense lemon curd
this one really pulls you in with this upfront perfume
the Parrellada and Trepat both gently macerate separately for 7 days before being pressed and combined into stainless steel for 7 months rest before bottling
Next time you rustle up a fritto misto (or even if you’re just heading to the chippy) look no further for partnership perfection
the grapes are brought to the cellar for direct-pressing
The wine is left on its lees in the bottle for 2 years before being disgorged
