| Description: |
|
From an estate located in a pine forest, an appropriately piney wine, the estate of Trebiac dates back to the 18th century when it was a priory and it was eventually donated in 1868 by the owner to a religious congregation of Franciscan nuns. The nuns decided to clear away a chestnut grove and plant some vines, as you do. Today the estate is still being run on behalf of the sisters. The vineyard itself consists of 25 hectares of vines on the heights of Portets at the edge of the aforementioned pine forest. Both the soils and subsoil are composed of gravel a few metres deep. The blend is Merlot 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 30% and Cabernet Franc 10% and the wine spends three weeks in vat and eighteen months in old oak before release. (12 x 75 cl)
