Manoir Du Carra Beaujolais Villages is a classic expression of the Gamay grape, cultivated in the appellation of Beaujolais Villages located within the greater Beaujolais wine region of France. This wine is crafted with grapes from vines averaging 45 years old, benefiting from the region’s granite and schist soil which imparts minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves semi-carbonic maceration, a traditional Beaujolais technique which enhances the fruit flavors while maintaining the grape’s natural acidity and freshness. Known for its vibrant red fruit profile, this wine did not undergo oak aging, preserving its lively and youthful essence. Manoir Du Carra has a longstanding history in the region, producing wines that have often gained praise for their typicity and balance, appealing to both casual and discerning wine drinkers alike.
