🏰 The 2019 Liber Pater Denarius is the 'entry-level' offering from the highly unconventional and sought-after Liber Pater estate, known for its commitment to recreating 19th-century Bordeaux wine styles. This red Bordeaux blend is crafted from ungrafted, pre-phylloxera grape varieties, some of which are largely forgotten, and is uniquely aged in clay amphorae rather than oak barrels to allow a pure expression of the soil. The 2019 vintage is described as young and elegant, focusing on purity of fruit with notes of ripe dark and blue berries, complemented by floral, herbal, and earthy nuances, and a subtle green pepper note. It offers a juicy, approachable fruit profile with layers of intrigue. 【 Liber Pater Denarius: a unique 'second wine' crafted from ungrafted, pre-phylloxera vines and amphora-aged, offering a taste of historical Bordeaux at a relatively 'affordable' price point 】. 🍴 This distinctive wine pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled beef, and game meats.
