Screwcap/Stelvin

A delightful surprise – a light-hued, Loire-esque Cabernet Franc, unabashedly herbaceous but not green. Great length and structure, a fluidity of shape and a very moreish palate. A fine layer of spice sits over perfumed and herbaceous fruit, tomato leaf and a pleasant, slightly sappy, stemmy note. Dried rose petals, nettles, white pepper, allspice and wet tarmac minerality sit around a core of rosehip and sweet, ripe red fruit. It’s delicate and layered, with tight, chalky tannins lifted by crunchy acid completing a fun and fanciful little wine.
