Last Friday Bancroft's Sophie dug out her wellies and went to stand in a rather large field just outside of Oxford in Kingham, to represent
Luigi Bosca wines at Jamie Oliver's Big Feastival - a family friendly food and music festival run in conjunction with ex Blur guitarist Alex James, now turned cheese man extraordinare.
Wines of Argentina had a prominently positioned tent infront of the main stage where we were able to get our groove on to BBQ beats, Levi Roots and Fleetwood Bac. Luigi Bosca, the UK's best selling premium Argentine wine brand, was presented on sale alongside a number other wines hailing from sultry Argentina. On the Friday we were selling the
Luigi Bosca De Sangre - the most premium of all wines on sale on the day, standing out in its iconic, classy branding atop the bar.
The De Sangre is a wine made from selected grapes from the best lots of their “Los Nobles”,
“Las Compuertas” and “El Paraíso” vineyards in Maipú, Mendoza. This is a serious wine, a heady blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (85%), Syrah (8%) and Merlot (7%) and one that is capable of ageing for up to fifteen years. We're pretty sure it would go very well with some of Alex's cheese.
