Ridgeback Wines
Ridgeback Wines is situated in the northern part of the picturesque town of Paarl in the Western Cape, on the northern slopes of the magnificent Paarl mountain. The farm extends over an area of 65 hectares. Retaining the rich heritage of the countryside’s proteas and fynbos, which flourish in the region, is a priority that we are deeply and continuously committed to. Our vineyards are amongst the finest in the Cape, and our winery, which overlooks a small dam, is home to an abundance of water fowl which add to the beauty and peaceful ambience of this tranquil environment. A total of 35 hectares are currently under vine with the potential to increase the capacity further. In order to enable our winemaker to produce our exciting array of blends and single varietal wines, the farm has planted a wide variety of different cultivars.
Description
The Ridgeback Cabernet Franc 2019 showcases flavours of rich black cherries, black currant, and blackberries with hints of green peppercorn, nutmeg, and liquorice. This full-bodied red wine has a lovely long finish that ends in earthy notes of cedar and leather.
Food Pairing
The complexity of the Cabernet Franc is ideally paired with game birds such as duck or quail and would do equally well served with veal.
