Clarendelle Bordeaux Blanc 2021
A cool spring and relatively cool beginning to summer, followed by warmer sun early in late summer, resulted in a wine with wonderful freshness and beguiling, complex flavours. The Sauvignon Blanc unveils plethora of aromas, ranging from boxwood to tropical fruit and an array of citrus notes. The Muscadelle grape showed great colour contributing fragrant rose and lychee notes to the blend. A white wine with lovely tension and freshness, and a delicious palate, round and rich, balanced out by wonderful minerality.
43% Sauvignon Blanc, 32% Semillon, 25% Muscadelle, Alc: 12,5%
Clarendelle Bordeaux Rosé 2021
Harvested from vineyard plots especially selected for rosé, the wine has an iridescent salmon-pink robe, leading to powerful tropical aromas, dominated by lychee and pomegranate. This rosé has lovely balance, framed by a smooth lightly tannic structure. Flavours of liquorice and mint accent the lovely pink grapefruit flavours. The wine is indulgent and lingering on the palate.
65% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, Alc: 12,5%
And for the red Bordeaux faithful,
Clarendelle Bordeaux Rouge 2016
Clarendelle Bordeaux 2016 is a colourful, fresh and fruity wine, with aromas of red fruit and blackcurrant alongside floral overtones reminiscent of violet. They combine the tannic power of great vintages with a deliciously velvety texture and rare smooth, powerful, and generous on the palate. Their relatively high level of acidity gives them an admirable freshness and tremendous balance, without any hardness. Clarendelle Bordeaux 2016 can be enjoyed during an aperitif or it can be the perfect elegant partner for lunch and dinner during the coming Spring.
84% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, Alc: 13,5%
