Demena – Wabi Sabi 2019

by Simon J Woolf

Simon J Woolf 12/11/2020   

Demena - Wabi Sabi 2019
Producer: Demena
Wine name: Wabi Sabi
year: 2019
variety: Cinsault
country: France
region: Languedoc
style: Red
certification: Organic
ABV: 13.5
event:

Velvet textured, soft fruited, with perfumed raspberry and a subtle spiciness. Very fine and soft tannins. Hint of musk. Super clean. No sulphites.

Hard to recognise this as Cinsault. Also I don’t quite understand the name, which is a Japanese philosophical construct meaning something like “beauty in imperfection”. Here there is really nothing “funky” or imperfect. It’s all rather normal and easygoing.
