Cahors from Fanagoria cannot be classified as everyday drinks. And this is fully consistent with the idea of the manufacturers. After all, this wine was created for church ceremonies and Christian holidays. But now, judging by the requests on the World Wide Web, "Canonical Cahors" from "Fanagoria" is gaining popularity at an incredible speed. Perhaps the secret of such growth is hidden in the non-standard drink.
Description of bottle
The front label is fully consistent with the "Number Reserve" line, to which the drink belongs. At the bottom is the name, vintage year and brief information about the wine, as well as an inscription indicating that the company has its own vineyards.
There is much more information on the back label. It says that this wine is red in color and tastes sweet. Like most domestically produced Cahors, the drink contains Cabernet Sauvignon, Saperavi and someother grape varieties, but in very small quantities.
The uniqueness of Cahors from "Fanagoria" lies in the fact that the sugar content in it is 50 grams per liter. Formally, it is considered sweet, but, for comparison, in other Cahors, the sugar content ranges from 140 to 160 grams per liter. But this is not the only deviation from the norm. Alcohol here does not exceed 10.5%, although the classic technology provides for at least 15%.
So, Cahors from Fanagoria is worth a try, if only for the sake of curiosity.
Organoleptic qualities of the drink
The wine has an unusually rich dark red color, so dark that it appears black. This is due to the fact that both varieties of grapes give a very rich shade, and "saperavi", in general, is translated as "dye".
The aroma of Cahors from Fanagoria has spicy berry tones. In the foreground, black pepper is clearly felt (so bright that almost nothing is felt besides it). But then berries appear, among which the most noticeable are cherries, currants and raspberries.
Despite the fact that the wine is considered sweet, it is quite sour. This is discouraging at first. Sugar is almost non-existent. It appears only in the aftertaste, which is distinguished by notes of dry berries.
Fanagoria's Cahors wine is also rich in tannins. But this is not surprising, given that the main varieties in the composition are saperavi and cabernet.
Reviews about Cahors from "Fanagoria"
Most consumersconsiders this drink quite sound. Maybe it will seem rustic to someone, but you can turn a blind eye to this, given its affordable price.
Of course, many skeptics trumpet on every corner that this is not Cahors at all. Like, it does not match either the amount of sugar or the strength.
Kagor from Fanagoria can be called a kind of light version of the drink in this category. That is, in terms of its properties, this drink is quite consistent with everyday wine.
If cooled a little, it will perfectly complement a fruit cut or dessert. The drink is quite versatile, as it can also be used with meat.
A little about the manufacturer
Fanagoria is the name of the ancient city, on the territory of which the winery of the same name has been operating for more than fifty years.
Today it is one of the largest factories in our country. Vineyards, which belong to the company, have an area of more than three and a half thousand hectares. It is thanks to them that the company's products are of excellent quality. The production process is fully controlled by the winery's specialists, from planting seedlings to bottling and distribution.
Production Features
In order for all red wines, including Cahors, to be of decent quality, special attention must be paid to coloring and tannins in the process of pulp fermentation.
It is the Fanagoria enterprise that has the latest equipment for this procedure.
The whole point is that the pulp is on timefermentation should always have a uniform appearance. Therefore, the mixing process plays a key role here. It is with him that all the key qualities of the future drink begin, which should turn out to be full-bodied, tart and have the potential for aging. That is why fermentation tanks (vinifiers) should have different designs.
After the fermentation process is completed, the must is separated from the pulp. In order for the wine to have a richer color, full tannic taste and deep aroma, it makes sense to hold the wine for some time on the pulp. If you need to get a light, unpretentious drink at the exit, then it is better to destem immediately. This is followed by aging and bottling.
