Our first wine - Chateau de Carles

Our first wine - Chateau de Carles
Fronsacs can some times be the ugly ducklings of the right bank. With lots of Cabernet and Malbec in its vineyards, and old-school methods in its cellars, the AOC, produced rough and rustic wines however it's just starting to hit it straps producing much more powerful merlot dominant wines.

The 2004 Chateau de Carles is deep, dark, smooth, richly fruited, and very polished in the glass. After decanting you see the wines true colours of earth and extra "funk" alongside a set of very ripe tannins. Its flavours are broader, more Merlot oriented than Cabernet franc (with touches of malbec).

Special - in-store (and blog) offer:

Buy 12, get a Spiegelau Decanter Free!

So you can start drinking and decanting almost immediately……delicious.

RRP $55 - Armadale Cellars $49.95

Drink this now, or over the next 7-10 years. Either way it is TERRIFIC!

Simply contact our sales team to place an order!
