Cabernet Franc forms the core of the blend at 52%, complemented by 23% Merlot, 13% Syrah, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot and 2% Mourvèdre. Bringing together the individual character of six varieties, it is a distinctive cuvée from Yone Farm Tomi. Pesticide use in the vineyard is limited to 50% of the level recommended under the regional spraying programme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVinification takes place at Tsuiji Labo, a winery also located in Tomi that works with local growers to produce small-batch wines that express the individual character of their grapes. The wine was spontaneously fermented with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, followed by ageing in neutral oak barrels. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered, with only a small amount of sulphur dioxide added at bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fragrant character and light tannins of Cabernet Franc are complemented by the other varieties, including Merlot, while ageing in neutral oak adds further depth. Rather than the weight and power often associated with Bordeaux blends, this wine combines Bordeaux-inspired complexity with the light, lively drinkability of its lower alcohol style.\u003cbr\u003eOnly 289 bottles were produced, making this an exceptionally rare, small-production cuvée from Yone Farm TOMI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNutrition Facts per 100ml\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnergy: 64 kcal\u003cbr\u003eFat: 0 g\u003cbr\u003e - Saturates: 0 g\u003cbr\u003eCarbohydrate: 1.0 g\u003cbr\u003e - Sugar: 1.0 g\u003cbr\u003eProtein: 0.1 g\u003cbr\u003eSalt: 0g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yone Farm TOMI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57073295229259,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/7252\/9245\/files\/MelangeBordelaise202401_1e951fe0-de10-44de-9507-67f8940ea15e.jpg?v=1789471786","url":"https:\/\/gubi-gubi.nl\/products\/melange-bordelaise-2024","provider":"GUBI GUBI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
