Pago de Tharsys Cabernet Franc Without Sulphites 2024 – Cabernet Franc Red Wine
Pago de Tharsys Cabernet Franc Without Sulphites 2024 is produced using traditional methods, carefully monitored from harvest to bottling. Throughout the entire winemaking process, strict quality and hygiene standards are maintained, especially important since no sulphites are added. The grape juice undergoes cold maceration with skins and seeds for several days until fermentation concludes, followed by a 3-month ageing period on fine lees in stainless steel vats. The wine remains unfiltered to retain its unique flavour and structure, and as a result, it may develop sediment or slight cloudiness over time—neither affecting its quality nor posing any health risks.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Ruby colour of pronounced intensity with a purple rim, medium tears, and slow movement. Currently clear, though as a natural, unfiltered wine, it may develop slight cloudiness over time without affecting aroma, flavour, or health.
- Nose: Intense and clean aromas of ripe black and red fruits—cherry, black plum, blackberry—with lavender, wild rose, and subtle mineral hints. When shaken, notes of liquorice and Puromoro emerge.
- Mouth: Clean, dry entry with balanced medium acidity adding freshness. Voluminous body, pleasant ripe tannins, and intense flavours of ripe, compote black fruits—blackberries, black plum, blueberries, and liquorice. Long, rich, fruity finish.
Serving: Serve between 14ºC and 16ºC in a medium-sized glass with a wide body, slightly narrower at the top. Ideal pairing for intensely flavoured wood-fired red meats, slow-cooked legume stews, baked rice, and dishes with concentrated sauces.
Organic Wine-growing: We farm our vineyards sustainably and organically, avoiding herbicides, chemical pesticides, and synthetic fertilisers, using instead natural resources to enrich biodiversity. Grapes are handpicked early in the morning in 10kg boxes, carefully selected, and promptly processed without added sulphites, maintaining strict hygiene to preserve their flavour and properties. Our slogan is “Observe and Respect.”
