Pangaea 2015, 75 cl

The first and only true "Wine of the World." The Pangaea project, which blends Bordeaux grape varieties from five countries, was born from a partnership between renowned French wine consultant Michel Rolland, who knows the terroirs of every continent better than almost anyone else, and South African investor Travis Braithwaite. The wine is named after the supercontinent Pangaea, which existed millions of years ago and encompassed every single geographical location where wine is currently produced, thus creating a "Wine of the World." Each grape variety in the blend comes from a specific origin: Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, Merlot from the Right Bank of Bordeaux, Petit Verdot from Dehesa del Carrizal (known as "Vino de Pago") in Spain, Cabernet Franc from Helderberg in South Africa, and Malbec from the Valle de Uco in Argentina. Seductive notes of thyme, pepper, and slate-like minerality, complemented by aromas of roses, vanilla pods, and black cherries, define the bouquet. The Pangaea presents itself with a soft entry, featuring grainy yet fine tannins accompanied by aromas of strawberries, black cherries, and plums.
