2020 Premium Cabernet Franc
In Stock
The hot, dry weather and endless sunshine during the summer and fall of 2020 allowed us to produce red wines with beautiful aromas and flavours. The wine was fermented in open top bins then aged in barrel for two years.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Earthy and spicy with aromas and flavours of raspberries, strawberries, coffee, tobacco, spice, dill, flint, black pepper, smoke and toasty oak. Balanced with vibrant acidity, producing a long, firm finish. Best Serving Temperature 16° to 19°C.
Food Pairing Notes
The complexity of dark, ripe fruit, earthy and spicy notes combined with quiet astringency suggests rich, marbled meats, such as rib eye or striploin steaks, and leg of lamb. For a vegetarian option, dishes with earthy portobello mushrooms and hard cheeses will be a good complement.
