Campos de Cima Três Bocas Tinto 2022 (Tannat/Cab Franc/Petit Verdot)

£15.99

We’re delighted to launch the latest, 2022, vintage of the Três Bocas Tinto. As in previous vintages this wine is unoaked and its three component red grapes have changed, this time featuring Tannat (50%), Cabernet Franc (30%) and Petit Verdot (20%).

A fascinating and unusual blend: medium to full bodied and characterised by robust, juicy dark fruit with hints of spice and green pepper.

Can be enjoyed on its own but will make a great pairing with steaks, casseroles, BBQ meats or strongly-flavoured cheeses.

‘Três Bocas’ references the three grape varieties, the location of the vineyard and Campos de Cima’s three lady owners. The winery is fully self-sustainable, relying on solar power generated from panels located on the property.

Full tasting note to follow – note below refers to a previous vintage consisting of a Tempranillo/Malbec/Tannat blend. 

Vegan & vegetarian friendly.

Description

ABV: 14%

APPEARANCE: deep ruby-red with slight russet tinge

AROMAS: concentration of ripe, untamed hedgerow and forest fruits – damson and plum aromas to the fore – with a touch of menthol also noticeable

TASTE: palate is medium to full bodied and smooth; tannins are soft and savoury, with ripe fig and herbaceous brambly fruit flavours. Fresh acidity; punchy and quite potent!

FOOD PAIRING: recommended as a food wine, best enjoyed with a juicy steak, roasts, BBQ fare, stews, pasta dishes or strongly flavoured cheeses

OVERALL: Made by Frenchman Michel Fabre – who owns his own vineyard in the Minervois –  this is a distinctive, powerful and complex red that continues to develop with age
