Hanami 2023 6L BIG BOTTLE!

Hanami 2023, here as a big 6 litre bottle, is a sensational value natural wine crafted by Domaine Calvez-Bobinet, in Saumur, right in the heart of the Loire region in France.  Here is is a MASSIVE and very heavy Mathusalem, which is a 6 litre bottle of Cabernet Franc, ideal for a celebration!

How is Hanami by Domaine Calvez-Bobinet made?

This delicious red wine is made with Cabernet Franc grapes, of which the vines are between 15-50 years old.

The grapes which are grown on limestone and clay, are destemmed and undergo a gentle maceration for 20 days. Actually 30% of the blend is vinified with carbonic maceration, and all the parcels are aged in concrete vats for around 4 months. Blending of all the Cabernet Franc takes place at the end of fermentation.
Being in a bigger bottle, the aging of the wine will be different due to the next oxygen amount from wine to the top, and will age generally slower.

How does Hanami by Domaine Calvez-Bobinet taste?

Hanami is an awesome tasting red wine, with a juicy yet also slightly structured mouthfeel. We absolutely adore it for the value and slight pepperiness it offers, alongside forest fruits. What a delight!
