Jukes: "A modern inexpensive claret with a lust for life and sheer drinkability which amazes the senses."
Chateau Civrac is a fusion of the quality of the old world, but with the approachability of the new. "Our wine is a classic blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and malbec but made in a contemporary and honest style.
Our wine is hand harvested to get the best flavours, maturing the wine in new oak barrels and minimising any chemical treatments. It is a pleasure to drink with or without food."
We are taking a very high quality, but respectful approach to winemaking, a "slow" approach, including hand harvesting and minimising any chemical treatments. This is leading to a fusion wine of distinctive quality.
