If you haven't tried the Château Pineraie, Cahors Tradition yet, then where have you been?! Now elevated to Chateau status, this a top notch wine worthy of it's many, many awards. Don't be put off by the strong rural nose of this wine because the palate is fantastic. Intense berry fruit with plum, blackberry and lots of spice. Vanilla and soft oak as well as violets and a potpourri character add complexity, which is balanced by gentle tannins. Smooth and sumptuous, this wine expresses the almost tender notes of Malbec. This is definitely a wine to drink with red meats or pork in wine, cream or even peppercorn sauces and game, but also mature hard cheeses go nicely too.
Please note: All case wine orders can take between 7-10 days for delivery.
