One of the world's most famous regions!
Much like New Zealand, the weather in Bordeaux is never exactly the same from year to year. This results in higher levels of vintage variation and is one reason why most Bordeaux wines are blends. The overall wine style will remain the same, but if Cabernet Sauvignon doesn’t do well one year, more Merlot may be added to the blend or vice versa. With six red and seven white grapes to choose from, this gives winemakers lots of flexibility!
Bordeaux is known for full-bodied, well-structured red wines with chewy tannins. Many wineries will age their wines in barrel for at least a year and also age them in bottle for a time before releasing them to the public. This helps soften the acidity and tannins, and lets the fruit and oak flavours fully integrate. Because these wines can age for 10 -30 years, some people treat them like collectors’ items. So, it’s not unusual to find them on an auction block. If you’re not that patient, that’s alright. There’s heaps of approachable wines out there that are ready to drink right now!
