100% Cabernet franc from 3 plots of vines totaling just 1 hectare of vines averaging around 40 years old. The grapes for this wine are de-stemmed before crushing and then vinified lwith daily pump-overs and gentle punching down. Ageing is done in barrels of one to three years old for 20 months and the resulting wine is remarkably perfumed fresh and bright giving a violet perfume so typical of the very best Cabernet franc with fine silky tannins and bright fresh brambly fruit. Totally delicious and shows how great Cabernet franc can be in the right hands.
This product is also a part of our French Reds Quality Tasting Case.
