Gondwana 2016 is one of the small and ephemeral cuvées of Château de Fosse-Sèche. Made of selected ranks of Cabernet Franc vines, with very low yields and an attention to details brought to its maximum during an original winemaking process that combines egg-shaped vats and sandstone amphoras, this exceptional wine exudes quality and exclusivity. The precise and tensed structure that defines Fosse-Sèche wines comes here with wonderfully silky tannins and a length in mouth that set this wine in a category apart. A  superb expression of the natural lushness the Pire brother have managed to create on the Château de Fosse-Sèche estate.

Ideally served around 13°, Gondwana calls for a slow roasted lamb shoulder accompanied by roasted vegetables, but will also go very well with a variety of meat- or mushroom-based dishes.
