Parentière 2023 VDF Rouge Le 54 L'Original

Made from the Plantet grape variety, also known as 54-55, created in the 19th century by Albert Siebel. This is a very fruity and light red wine with lovely red fruit aromas. Supple and delightful, and low in tannins, it can be enjoyed with a slight chill or at room temp. There is a bit of earthiness on the nose up front but very pure, juicy fruit and great acidity that makes it a versatile pairing option. A unique and tasty wine that's worth trying for anyone interested in something a bit unusual, and not grown on American rootstocks.

(Seibel's hybrid grapes were mainly descended from only four parent grapes: two European grapes (Vitis vinifera), Aramon and Alicante Bouschet; one wild American grape, Jaeger 70 (Vitis rupestris x Vitis lincecumii); and one rootstock, AxR1, which was created by crossing Aramon with a wild American V. rupestris.)
