The acclaimed French winemaker, Matthieu Finot, who is also an avid rugby player, created a red wine vintage to raise money for the University of Virginia Rugby Club. A blend of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Tannat, this wine is a hearty, well balanced offering.
Sales of "Rugby Red" will help keep the UVA Rugby Team going...established in 1961, this team is the oldest rugby club below the Mason-Dixon line. Players invloved in this club come not only from the South, but also from France, Australia, England, Ireland and South Africa. It was a privilege to design a wine for such a diverse group.
Matthieu (we just, with sincere kindness, call him "Frenchy") not only created this fine wine but also contributed to the labeling design. And he looks forward to kicking (mostly English) butt on the rugby field, so he is not just your average winemaker!
