What is a ‘Bartizan’?
A bartizan is a small, turret-like structure projecting from a building and serving especially for lookout or defense. Like a turret offering a commanding view, our Bartizan Bordeaux blend provides a complex and layered tasting experience. This "fortress of flavors," as our winemaker describes it, is a traditional French-style blend, a safe haven of Left Bank character. Pour a glass and enjoy the view – a panoramic exploration of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and other Bordeaux varietals, each contributing to the wine's strength, structure, and enduring character, much like the stones of a fortified tower.
