Elgin Ridge
Elgin Ridge wines are named after the altitude of the vineyard namely 282 meters above sea level. This ensures the Atlantic breezes cool the grapes during the day creating balanced wines with good fruit fine acidity and minerality. Our certified organic farm produces excellent fruit so minimal intervention is required in the cellar.
Description
Colour: Dark garnet purple. Nose: Hint of spice and freshly crushed dark fruit on entry followed by perfume nasturtium and a hint of pencil shavings. Palate: Dark, rich and full with bright fruit on the mid-palate. Spicy long balance tannin finish which supports the fruit beautifully.
Food Pairing
Cabernet Franc blends pair well with grilled steaks and chops, Portobello mushrooms, green olives, pepper, rosemary, and mint.
