Hubert
Bourgueil 1997 Vielles Vignes
To balance the choice from Germany, Harlequin
Wines returned to Domaine Hubert. This long-established family
estate of 24 hectares was founded in the village of Benais
in 1730.
Last Spring, we quickly sold out
of the 1997 Bougeuil, so this Autumn we offer the special
Hubert Bourgueil 1997 Vielles Vignes (old vines).
The 50 year old vines are grown
on the argilo-limestone south facing slopes called "tuffs".
These conditions produce a wine which requires extra
aging to show the beautiful cabernet franc characteristics.
We have waited an extra year, to allow the tannins time
to soften, so this serious wine is now ready to enjoy.

| A
rare opportunity to gain an insight into the flavours and character
of the very finest Franconian Wines. If you haven't sampled from this
region before, it will transform your opinion of German wine-making. |
 |
| Alongside the wide selection from Franconia, we are delighted
to introduce a French heavy-weight to you, a peerless cabinet
franc. |
 |
|
Franconia specialises in outstanding dry white wines, extremely
popular in Germany and starting to gain long-overdue recognition
elsewhere. |
|
The Franconian winemakers use the centuries-old flagon shaped
bottle, known locally as a "bocksbeutal" to ensure
the easy identification of their wines. |
 |
| Randersacker,
a charming Bavarian village - home to some of the finest wine makers
- has long been a favourite of Harlequin Wines. |
