Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2016 L’Enigme Bordeaux Supérieur
A blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc aged 12 months in French oak. The wine has an intense purple color. The nose reveals red fruits and mineral notes. Supple and round, with a great tannic structure, this wine reflects the quintessence of the Entre Deux Mers region.
THE VINEYARD
This region consists of limestone plateaux at around 100m above sea level, hence its name “Bordeaux’s high country”. Wines of the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation are produced the vineyard zone of the Gironde. The wines must conform to rigorous quality criteria and are made from grapes from selected vineyard parcels and older vines. The red Bordeaux Supérieur is characterised by great aromatic complexity combining ripe fruits, floral aromas, spice and often a hint of oak.
This is a lot of wine for under $20 – Something Saucy and FUN!
Available in 6 bottle wooden cases at Jacob Liquor on North Rock Road 🙂
