Michel Rolland / Travis Braithwaite Pangaea

The first and only true "Wine of the World." The Pangaea project, which brings together wines from five countries using Bordeaux grape varieties in a single cuvée, was born from a partnership between renowned French wine consultant Michel Rolland, who knows the terroirs of all continents better than almost anyone else, and South African investor Travis Braithwaite. The wine is named after the supercontinent Pangaea, which existed millions of years ago and encompassed every single geographical location where wine is currently produced, thus creating a "Wine of the World." Each grape variety in the cuvée comes from a specific origin: Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, Merlot from the right bank in Bordeaux, Petit Verdot from Dehesa del Carrizal as "Vino de Pago" in Spain, Cabernet Franc from Helderberg in South Africa, and Malbec from the Valle de Uco in Argentina. The bouquet is characterized by seductive notes of thyme, pepper, and slate-like minerality, complemented by aromas of roses, vanilla pods, and black cherries. The Pangaea presents a soft entry, with grainy yet fine tannins accompanied by flavors of strawberries, black cherries, and plums.
