Alvaro Espinoza can certainly get an astonishing amount of flavour from his grapes, and in this exclusive Vintage Roots wine he has done us very proud. Full of smooth, jammy black cherry and plum fruits it has good length too. Fantastic wine. back to top

AOC Cabardès
Domaine de Brau - 2003/2004
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon. Size: 75cl
Full-flavoured red which has blackcurrant, damson and sweet, jammy fruits with just a dash of spice. Each grape variety is vinified separately before the final decision on the blend is made. The final wine has good fruit character with backbone and length. Lovely wine. back to top
