2022 L'Austral Saumur Puy-Notre-Dame 'Manta', Loire, France

Sale price$31.99

Domaine L’Austral is one of the rising names in Saumur Puy-Notre-Dame, farming organically on the Loire Valley’s famed tuffeau limestone soils. “Manta” is a pure, mineral-driven expression of Cabernet Franc fermented with native yeasts and aged in concrete egg to preserve freshness and site transparency. Bright red berries, violets, fresh herbs, black pepper, and chalky earth lead into a palate with vibrant acidity, fine tannins, and a long, savory finish. Loire Cabernet Franc with energy, lift, and serious terroir character.
