Drinking Window: 2023 - 2028
Fermented in stainless steel tanks and matured in barriques for 12 months, this single-plot Cabernet Franc is a brand new addition to the range. Its plush yet balanced blueberry and chocolate character combines with pepper and herbs for a juicy and succulent wine finishing with balsamic and herbal notes, some damp earth and cocoa. Intense and spicy, its fine tannins balance fresh acidity.
