Ad Libitum La Grange Tiphaine 2021

Ad Libitum La Grange Tiphaine, Natural Wine, Organic Loire Red, alive, soft, elegant, fruity but authentic, Delicious. Ad Libitum is a blend of Gamay, Cot (Malbec to you and me) and Cabernet Franc. A seemless red wine with no rough edges what so ever but packed with ripe fruits, subtle earthy notes and a long, lively finish. This little Loire red doesn’t lack in intensity, something often said of Loire red wine. It is also very versatile, with the body for some grilled meat and the freshness and elegance to serve chilled. Excellent wine.

Coralie and Damien Delecheneau took over the family estate in 2002 and run everything organically with the upmost respect for nature and for the traditional techniques of the region.

Harvesting everything by hand, the grapes are gently pressed in a pneumatic press before being transferred by gravity to cold settle in inert vats in the winery below. They grow Chenin Blanc, Cot/Malbec, Gamay, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc and Grolleau, which allows them to produce a varied winelist, all of which are elegant and balanced, with a true sense of place, thanks to their meticulous ethic.
