As well as Mourvèdre (80%)

a sly wink to the volcanic activity from 35 million years before

loaded with fruit texture and beautifully ripe tannins

The Domaine has owned half of the appellation since 2013

The orange wine in Fabien‘s selection is the Skin-Contact Maceration and it’s delicious

Balgownie Estate Shiraz 2020 fronsac As well as Mourvèdre (80%)Colour is brick red and some browning at the rim to be expected due to age. The bouquet shows lifted , spicy red and black fruits with cedar oak in accompaniment. Bright raspberry and plum fruits show on the concentrated pallet guided by fine tannins to a persistent finish. Lovely now but will hold for another 5 years. Serve with medium rare porterhouse with a red wine jus.
