Nicolas Carmarans, "Mauvais Temps" 2020

Fer de Sang, Negret de Banhard and Cab Franc. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in whole bunches for one week. Free-run and pressed juices are blended and aged in old barrique. Unfined, unfiltered. 

From the importer: "Estate Fer de Sang, Negret de Banhard, and a touch of Cab Franc, all co planted near Nicola’s house. The vines are about 30 years old and look over the Selves river on their steep cliff. Mauvais temps or bad times is a century old name for this place where it never rains, so you never get a day off!"
