2021 Brendan Stater-West, Saumur, Rouge 1.5L

Cabernet Franc sourced from Lieu-dit La Ripaille in the commune of Brézé, cultivated primarily in sandy-clay soils. The grapes are 100% destemmed, followed by a maceration period of 6 days without pump overs or punchdowns. Subsequently, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for 6 months. Despite challenging weather conditions, the Cabernet Francs are accessible sooner, revealing enticing savory spice aromas and vibrant red fruit flavors.
