Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc's liveliness makes it an excellent food partner. This wine is typically South African; friendly, inviting and accessible. Pair it with roasted lamb cutlets and greens or a lemon and herb chicken with mielie pap and smoor. Also great with a dessert like strawberries and cream.

Moderate weather throughout the season and during harvest time resulted in slower ripening grapes that developed remarkable colour and flavour. This slow and steady harvest allowed for the picking of the grapes at their ideal ripening stage, perfect for primary aromas and the development of the berries ensuring outstanding quality.

Aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.

Hand-picked, de-stemmed and sorted into tank Care is taken to work gently with the grapes after the peak of fermentation to achieve a wines with a fine tannin structure.
