While many natural winemakers embrace a bit of 'funk', Laurent has a very clear goal: making 100% natural wines at all costs, but with an extremely precise, \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"243\" data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eclean\u003c\/i\u003e result. He doesn't filter his wines but uses \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"294\" data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003esoutirrage\u003c\/i\u003e (carefully racking the wine from one vessel to another). This clarifies the wine completely naturally, leaving behind only the tiniest fraction of lees. During our visit, Laurent first took us into the vineyards to show us where this precision begins. Afterwards, we headed underground into his impressive \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"611\" data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003ecave\u003c\/i\u003e, where the wine ferments and rests. The deep, earthy scent that lingers in a cellar like that is truly something everyone needs to experience at least once. We would have loved to take all of their wines home with us, but we unfortunately had to stick to two. The Manta Rouge was an absolute no-brainer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eThe Vibe \u0026amp; Tasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e The Manta Rouge is a lively, energetic expression of Cabernet Franc. Thanks to Laurent's meticulous work in the cellar, you get an incredibly pure, pristine wine in your glass. Expect a crunchy palate full of juicy red fruit, currants, and that refined, subtly spicy note (think a hint of white pepper) that is so characteristic of the grape. It’s a juicy, highly digestible red wine with soft tannins that is best enjoyed slightly chilled. A fantastic bottle to pair with a charcuterie board or alongside light, earthy vegetable dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Troebel Wijnen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52855008428375,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/1901\/1415\/files\/manta-2024.jpg?v=1771853490","url":"https:\/\/troebelwijnen.nl\/products\/manta-rouge-2025-laustral","provider":"Troebel Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
