Principe Pallavicini, Chateau Fleur Cardinale Edition "Surf Session", 2019

Principe Pallavicini, Chateau Fleur Cardinale Edition “Surf Session” 2019 is a polished Bordeaux blend that brings together Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon in a style focused on harmony and finesse. It reflects the character of four carefully selected vineyard parcels, with the 2019 vintage adding depth, balance, and a distinctly refined finish.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this is a deep, expressive red with an inviting brightness that hints at freshness as well as concentration. The aroma unfolds with airy floral tones, mint, and ripe redcurrant, giving way to a supple, layered palate shaped by soft tannins and a long, graceful aftertaste. The wine’s structure suggests excellent aging potential, particularly for those who enjoy Bordeaux blends that develop more complexity over time. As it matures, expect the fruit to integrate further with the oak and savory elements, bringing added nuance and elegance.

Production
This wine is built from the essence of multiple vineyard sites, each contributing a different element to the final blend. Harvested and sorted with precision, the grapes are handled in a meticulous vinification process designed to preserve purity and softness, including basket pressing to extract gentle tannins and élevage in French oak to enhance elegance rather than sweetness. The final blend is assembled from numerous parcels to achieve balance and expression of the vintage.

Food & Serving
An excellent match for premium beef, especially grilled ribeye, entrecôte, or roast beef with rich sauces. It also works beautifully with lamb, duck, and mature hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for about 1 hour if drinking now to allow the wine to fully open.
