Description
Trinch is a rich, full-bodied red Bourgueil wine from Pierre and Catherine Breton. Its juicy, intense fruitiness (blackcurrant, blackberry) and subtle tannins give it a delicious balance and a lovely sense of freshness. The wine’s depth and complexity are perfectly complemented by its approachable character, making it an ideal choice to pair with simple grilled meats or grilled mackerel.
