BOTTLE SIZE: 750 mL

Medium ruby red in colour. Aromas of ripe blueberry, black tea and eucalyptus. Your taste buds open with flavours of tart cranberry, bing cherry, and a subtle cedar note. This medium bodied wine has bold tannins with a bright and fresh acidity that complement the long balanced finish. 14.8% alcohol. 

Traditional Bordeaux vinification techniques have been used to create an elegant and age-worthy Cabernet Franc. For each of the component lots, bunches were handpicked and sorted in the vineyard. The berries were crushed separately and cold soaked for two days before fermentation. Malolactic fermentation occurred in barrel over the winter and finished in the spring of the following year. The wines from each vineyard lot were kept separate in 30% new oak and a combination of two to three year old French oak barrels for twenty-one months. Our Cabernet Franc was further developed in bottle for twelve months prior to release.

Food Pairing: The earthy notes of Cabernet Franc pair beautifully with mushroom dishes like mushroom risotto, portobello mushroom burgers, or a rich mushroom stroganoff. The wine's herbaceous character makes it a great match for dishes featuring fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, tarragon, or dill. Meat options include pork chops with apple sauce or pork tenderloin with a balsamic glaze, and roasted lamb, lamb chops, or a herb-crusted rack of lamb.
