Bouvet-Ladubay, Rubis Demi-Sec NV
Loire, France, Sparkling Red, Cork, 12.5% abv(2016) Although sparkling red wines from Australia are not uncommon, to find one - made from Cabernet Franc - from the central Loire Valley in France is much more unusual. This is also demi-sec, or 'half dry', so after a nose of cocoa, mulberry, cassis and plum comes a just - just - off dry palate with racy red and black berry fruit and a lovely cherry-skin freshness of acidity. Unusual and at time of writing down to £9.99 as part of a mixed half dozen. Watch the video for full review and food-matching ideas.
Loved this wine where can I buy it.
Martin, follow the ‘wine-searcher’ link at the end of the tasting note and it will show current stockists: there are still several in the UK for example.
