UPC: 003419466182750 Chateau Canada has been making wine for 114 years on about 6 hectares of gently rolling vineyard in Cubzac-les-Ponts, 15 kilometres north of Bordeaux. The site is a mix of clay, chalk and gravel soils, the vines are on average 25 years old, and the blend is 70/30 Merlot/ Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2012 is a winner. It’s always had structure, but this year there is delicious, juicy red fruit with a touch of flesh, cedar and tobacco. Try this with a grilled steak for best results. Excellent value, and authentic.
