Cabernet Franc
Dark red in colour with complementary aromas of dusty green peppers and sweet vanilla on the nose. Enticing flavours of ripe plums and dark forest floor berries on the palate. A well-balanced Cabernet franc with good fruit, freshness, structure and great aging potential.

In the Cellar
The grapes were cold soaked for 4 days prior to fermentation. They were then pressed and put straight into barrels for malo-lactic (secondary) fermentation. The wine was racked immediately after malo-lactic and placed in mainly French (60%) and American (40%) with 1st (35%), 2nd (40%) and 3rd (25%) fill oak barrels for maturation after which the wine was lightly filtered 12 months of and bottled.
