Known for its balance and depth, this wine is crafted to reflect both the quality of the 2015 growing season and the finesse of Jacques Blanc’s winemaking. In the glass, Cuvée Catharina 2015 presents a beautiful deep garnet color with a hint of amber at the rim, hinting at its maturity. The nose is complex and inviting, offering a bouquet of dark berries like blackberry and black cherry, complemented by notes of dried fig, plum, and a subtle floral touch of violet.
