An inviting deep ruby colour presents in the glass. On the nose you find rhubarb, jasmine, and redcurrants, with the distinctive green bell pepper aroma that so thoroughly appeals to Cabernet Franc enthusiasts. The palate is soft and elegant, with notes of green pepper, loganberries and violets. The acidity draws out the flavours, while the tannins soften the wine in a plushy display of graceful symmetry.

While winter had a late start, it was characterized by good rainfall, leading to an even bud break. A turbulent start to flowering season improved towards the onset of summer. Warmer weather in November contributed to even vineyard growth. A moderate January and February was followed by an initially hot February, while cool and wet conditions dominated from the end of February through March, creating challenging harvest conditions. Despite the wetter than ideal conditions, our microclimate allowed the grapes to achieve ideal ripeness.
