Arrogant Frog Réserve AOP - Arrogant Frog

Arrogant Frog Réserve AOP - Arrogant FrogThe Arrogant Frog Réserve from Arrogant Frog is a fruit-driven, seductive red wine cuvée from the grape varieties Syrah (45%), Grenache (30%) and Mourvèdre (25%). In the glass, this wine shines in a strong ruby red with garnet highlights. The complex bouquet of juicy fresh blackberries and violets is accompanied by spicy vanilla notes. On the palate, this French red wine is wonderfully balanced with an opulent, soft body. The silky tannins are perfectly integrated and harmonize wonderfully with the juicy fruit character and subtle fruit sweetness. This red wine is rich, full-bodied and leads into a long finish accompanied by toasty aromas. Vinification of the Réserve by Arrogant Frog After harvesting the grapes, the berries are completely destemmed and vinified separately by grape variety. The fermentation process for Grenache lasts 4 days, for Mourvèdre and Syrah 5 days. All three grape varieties are fermented at a controlled temperature of 28 degrees Celsius in stainless steel tanks and the maceration time is about 14 days. After blending, this wine is aged in wood - 80% of the barrels are American oak - 20% are French oak. Food recommendation for the Arrogant Frog Réserve We recommend this dry red wine from France with pasta, risotto with truffles, grilled red meat, game and soft cheeses, but it is also a real pleasure with Asian cuisine.
