Riserva

Casa Defra, founded in 1908, today follows sustainable viticultural practices. Matured for two years, this Riserva has sticky dark fruit flavours with some vanilla and wood layered behind, giving some astringency to this blend of Merlot and Cabernet. There are some chocolate and spice hints on the mid-palate, and some blackcurrant emerges on the peppery finish. It's a little bit flat, however, and really needs some food to lift it: beef short ribs or fragrant lamb tagine could work well.
