Description
The Vdf La Nomade by Chateau Tire Pé is a fresh and dynamic red wine that reflects the pure essence of the Bordeaux region, France. This wine is predominantly made from Merlot grapes, handpicked with careful selection to ensure the highest quality. Its color is intensely ruby red, with vibrant highlights that herald its aromatic richness.
On the nose, La Nomade surprises with notes of ripe red fruits like cherries and plums, while subtle hints of sweet spices and a light touch of vanilla further enrich the bouquet. On the palate, the wine is well-structured, with soft and balanced tannins that lead to a persistent and harmonious finish.
Perfect to serve with red meat dishes, aged cheeses, or pasta with meat sauce, the Vdf La Nomade by Chateau Tire Pé is an exemplar that showcases the qualities of organic farming, free of chemical additives and produced with respect for the environment and the natural rhythm of the vines. A true Bordeaux treasure, ideal for any occasion that demands a touch of class and authenticity.

Wines from Bordeaux
Bordeaux is in the south west of France and is one of the most famous wine regions in the world. It is the largest wine producing region in France, the vast majority being red wines. While it does make large quantities of everyday table wine, outside of Europe, it is mostly noted for producing some of the most expensive and prestigious wines in the world.
The Garonne and Dordogne rivers run through the region and together naturally irrigate the land while the soils are rich in calcium owing to their limestone content. These two rivers connect and run through to the Atlantic Ocean splitting Bordeaux into 3 distinct parts. We have the left bank, the right bank, and the area between the two rivers called Entre-Deux-Mers.
While in Australia we often see straight Shiraz, Cabernet or Merlots, Bordeaux does not generally produce red wine without blending. The “Bordeaux Blend” is one of the most classic and popular styles of red wine that has spread throughout France as well as throughout the New World.
On the left bank, typical top-quality blends are 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot. On the right bank top quality blends are typically made of 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
In general you can expect red wines from Bordeaux to taste more earthy in flavour compared to those from the New World wine regions that tend to be more fruit flavour driven.
