Tania Vincent Carême Terre Brûlée 2016
Swartland, Coastal Region, South AfricaA rare glimpse into authentic, South Africa red wine sold in BC. Vincent Carême is a well-known Loire producer situated in Vouvray at Domaine Vincent Carême, but his wife Tania is from South Africa and where the couple has a 10-acre vineyard planted over decomposed granite in Swartland. The Terre Brûlée Le Rouge is a 60/40 syrah/cinsault blend. The viticulture is sustainable, the fruit is handpicked and partially destemmed prior to a stainless-steel ferment using indigenous yeast before ageing eight months in stainless steel vats. The wine is medium bodied with a red raspberry fruit thread throughout and juicy fresh character too. We like the texture and balance here and the soft tannin with a touch of pepper in the finish. Stylish and food-friendly. A classy barbecue red.Tasted: 01 August 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $22.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
