Percheron Old Vine Cinsault 2024 - 6 x 750ml Bottles Description
This elegant wine showcases the distinctive character of mature vines, delivering a complex and refined tasting experience. On the nose, expect layers of red fruit - cherry and plum - interwoven with subtle spice and earthy undertones that speak to its terroir.
The palate opens with bright acidity and silky tannins, revealing flavours of strawberry, white pepper, and dried herbs. There's a delicate minerality that evolves mid-palate, followed by notes of leather and tobacco leaf that add depth and intrigue. The finish is clean and persistent, with a graceful fade that lingers pleasantly.
The old vine character brings concentrated flavour intensity balanced by surprising elegance. This is a wine of restraint and sophistication - approachable yet rewarding for those who take time to explore its nuances. Best served at cool room temperature to fully appreciate its aromatic profile and textural complexity.
Delicious slightly chilled, this Cinsault's bright, earthy notes and acidity marries beautifully with Asian duck dishes, pork belly, stir-fried beef and indeed carpaccio of tuna, beef or game.
