Tasting Notes

Medium-plus in colour with a fine floral top line. The bouquet is bursting with fruit aromas of blackcurrant, Morello cherry, raspberry and blackberry. Floral, liquorice and pepper notes. A wine with energy and complexity and good intensity of flavour with a big finish and good length.

Food Matches

Irancy cries out for dishes with strong, meaty flavours. Spare ribs and other barbecued meats will find it an enthusiastic partner because it combines virile tannins with real aromatic power.

Vinification

Fermentation using natural yeasts. Matured for 12 months in French oak (10% new oak).
