2023 "Piak! Rouge"
Say "Piak!" if you need a wine to slap you back to life. This line of wines from Calvez Bobinet will do just that. Made for the days when the sun is shining extra hot. This electric juice kicks the heat out of your body into your cheeks.
Made from Grolleau which is indigenous to Loire, France, this light and fruity red wine goes down silky and crisp. It's young and vibrant with a lively acidity that lingers on the tip of your tongue. It's a spicy cherry pop cola with earthy notes. The aroma of this light red is funky and eccentric and not to miss out on. Fresh herby flavors dance on your tongue and quickly disappear, much like its tannins washing off like seawater off the shore. The "tannin assassin", we call it. It has an interesting acidity and texture of a fibrous tropical fruit like rambutan, and long mineral finish.
