The Cyriel Cabernet Franc 2023 shows a bright ruby appearance. Its aromatic profile opens with elegant floral notes of violet and Damask rose. These mingle with vibrant red cherry, cassis and raspberry fruits. A distinctive wet gravel minerality adds complexity, alongside subtle aniseed and liquorice spice. The palate mirrors these floral characteristics, harmoniously intertwined with red berry fruits. Silky tannins provide structure and balance. The wine offers a perfect equilibrium of freshness and weight. It culminates in a long, fruit-forward finish that showcases the vintage's remarkable purity and balanced vibrancy.

After a relatively warm winter, which lead to an early bud break, the spring months were exceptionally dry. With the spring storms staying away, there was no wind to disturb the flowers and the superb berry setting gave us high hopes for an easy season with high yields. However, nature threw use a curve ball in the middle of harvest with lots of rain in February and March. We had almost 230 mm of rain in these two months, which is 2,5 times the average. Picking decisions were thus based both on phenolic ripeness and weather forecast. Early pickings allowed lower alcohol wines complemented with exquisite natural acidity.
