Paget Jajavanese 2018

Paget’s Jajavanaise is a blend of red grapes produced using carbonic maceration. The blend is Cab Franc, Gamay and Malbec (known locally as “côt”). This is a gritty, punchy young wine with lots of tannin and lots of character — low on finesse, high on fun. The nose is funky with violets, herbs and earth. The mouth is juicy and delicious, with cassis and licorice in a fresh, mouthwatering package. Think of it as Beaujolais’s hipster cousin from the Loire.
