The 2018 Château de Fosse-Sèche Gondwana is a red wine from the Loire Valley, specifically the Saumur region, known for its Cabernet Franc. This estate is committed to sustainable, organic (Ecocert), biodynamic (Biodyvin), and vegan farming practices, with 60+-year-old vines yielding about 20 hl/ha from unique stone and flint soils. The winemaking process is natural, involving hand harvesting, short maceration, native yeast fermentation in egg-shaped concrete tanks, and 14 months of aging on lees. The 2018 vintage of Gondwana is described as juicy, rich, and elegant, with delicious dark fruit notes like cassis and blackberry, complemented by rich minerality of graphite and elegant barrel notes of toast and almonds. It offers great concentration, acidity, and intensity with ripe tannins and a moderate grip, leading to a long finish. 【Top 11% of wines in The World】.
