Camarcanda Bolgheri 2018

Camarcanda is the estate's flagship wine made only in exceptional years and in tiny quantities from vineyards located on the coveted 'terre bianche' soils, which produce long lived mythical wines. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) and Cabernet Franc (20%), the two varieties are fermented and macerated separately. After 12 months of ageing in oak and further 6 months in concrete vessels, they are blended and aged for several months in the bottle before being released. The typical nature of white soil and the abundance of stones are essential to give the wine a solid and complex structure. A nose with flowery, red fruit and root notes, typical of the Mediterranean scrub. The taste is rounded, with a dense texture and a remarkable mineral character. Lingering finish with smooth tannins.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
