Bramare Cabernet Franc

Beef, Pork, Game (deer, venison), Poultry, Mild and soft cheese

This season was influenced by La Niña and consequently it was significantly drier, in contrast to the 2016 owing season. In spring the average temperatures were lower than historical, registering four events of late frosts that affected yields. February started fresh and rainy, delaying the harvest, starting February 16 and ending on April 20. Good weather conditions during harvest season allowed us harvesting grapes of excellent quality and health conditions.

Aged for 18 months in new French oak (55%) in combination with second use oak (45%). Bottled in December 2017. Unfined and unfiltered.
