Plant Robert - Mina Monnier

At the cellar

After the wine is pressed, it undergoes its secondary fermentation. It then matures for about 10 to 12 months in large wooden barrels prior to bottling. The ribbon guarantees its authenticity.

Notes

Bright ruby red in colour with a nose that reveals notes of spices and ripe red fruit aromas. Tasted young, this wine has a rustic, peppery edge and expressive acidity. After a few years it develops silky tannins and reveals cherry or prune notes, depending in the vintage.

Pairing

- Red meat
- Feathered game
- Platter of cheeses & local produce
