‘Akane No Oka’ (japanese for ’The Red Foothill’) is 100% Cabernet Franc with vivid aromas of savoury, herbal-tinged plum, cassis and liquorice. Deep and brooding on the palate, showing plenty of finesse and vigour on the long finish. 2018 is the first vintage release from Les Jardin de la Martiniere after taking over the vineyard from the enigmatic Anjou winemaker, Xavier Caillard, in the same year. Planted on limestone and clay soils north-east of Brissac-Loire-Aubance, the grapes were hand-harvested and left for four weeks long maceration, before fermentation in fibreglass, 12 months ageing in barriques and, finally, assembled in fibreglass to mature for another year before bottling. Limited availability.
