Maison Ginestet 58 Guineas Claret, AOP Bordeaux

This good value, unoaked claret makes a great BBQ wine but can just be enjoyed on its own thanks to its ripe fruit qualities. It’s a blend of 35% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc.

The wine is named after the 58 guineas Sir Robert Walpole (First Lord of the Treasury) reportedly paid in 1713 to smuggle twenty hogsheads of claret into Britain, where it was highly prized by London's fashionable wealthy elite.

Taste guide: you’ll find the classic Bordeaux flavours and aromas of plum, black cherry and blackcurrant with a lick of graphite in this bottle.
