Plaimont - Les Cépages Préservés Saint-Mont 2019 (750ml) Caino Tinto

Plaimont - Les Cépages Préservés Saint-Mont 2019 (750ml) Caino TintoA jewel of a wine (Gros Manseng with Petit Courbu and Arrufiac), so particular and distinctive, showing no ambition other than singing its origin. Aromas of apple and notes of vibrant peach, mirabelle plum, dried herbs and a suave enhancement of lees. Elegant and quite delicious with a finesse and fine spine of acidity.

The palate is creamy – from the fine mousse

Cooler spring temperatures led to an extended flowering period with our team applying post-veraison thinning to achieve a balanced crop

resulting in the Nineties first the prize of "Wine of the Year" by Gambero Rosso and then the Oscars of the wine of the Italian Sommelier

Lots of fruit on the nose

who joined the winery in 2010 and has worked hand-in-hand with Barrett

but the ‘hypothetical blend’

cherry and pomegranate

unsmoked cigars and cedar chest

followed by aging in a combination of French and American oak barrels

Cozy up with an approachable red that's anything but boring

multifaceted aroma

These vineyards are almost always the last to be harvested in Rioja
