Production

Traditional maceration and fermentation with the wine being racked off before undergoing malolactic fermentation. A combination of stainless steel and coated concrete tanks are used to preserve the bright, fresh fruit characteristics.

Tasting notes

Pronounced, classic Cabernet Franc leafiness with blackcurrant fruit on the nose followed by robust, crunchy currant fruit on the palate with firm tannins.. Vibrant, young acidity provides freshness through to the finish. Best enjoyed with a good lunch.

Food match

A very versatile and food friendly wine - so forget the usual red meat suspects. Try with chicken, baked herb crusted salmon or a variety of roasted vegetables.
