Severe weather fluctuations during bud break and flowering, followed by cool windy conditions, contributed to fewer, uneven bunches with smaller berries. Despite a challenging season, red wines show elegance. The grapes were handpicked in early hours of the morning from Delaire Graff Estate’s mountain vineyards. All grapes were extensively hand sorted to ensure only the best quality is used for winemaking

Matured in 60% new French oak barrels for 18 months and bottle matured further for 24 months to showcase the purity of the Cabernet Franc.

This wine was produced with meticulous care. Grapes were hand sorted. 70% whole berry fermentation in cooler temperatures of 24°C - 26°C and gentle punch downs ensured subtle extraction of red fruit characters.
