Château Olivier - Grand Cru

One of most quaffable Cabernet Franc of the Yannick Amirault estate, with a refined structure
and intense fruit. Perfect in its youth. Its main aromas are earthy, graphite, leather, oak, vanilla, tobacco, black pepper, mentholated and finely herbaceous for freshness. 

This cuvée is the spearhead of the estate. The aim is to bring together all Yannick Amirault's expertise in the most affordable bottle. 

Aging: +2/+6 years

Pairing: Lamb, Vegetarian, Poultry, Goat Cheese.

Beautiful golden color, clear and bright, subtle and expressive nose, with aromas of white flowers, straight, powerful aromatic, complex white flowers and a beautiful note of vanilla, nice roundness in the mouth

After 6 days of maceration, this wine was aged in 600lt French oak barrels for 18 months. The short maceration and storage in large wooden barrels guarantee a ripe fruitiness of sour cherries and a not too dense tannin structure.

This Riesling grows on Ried Preussen limestone on the Wiener Nussberg. The bedrock almost reaches the surface and is little interspersed with marine sediments. The high quartz content of sandstone with a low lime content is characteristic. On the nose, its baroque style recalls a ripe vine peach. Mineral notes and an exciting combination of sugar and acid make this wine one of the best representatives of Riesling in Vienna.
