John Platter Wine Guide 2015 - 4½ Stars
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Medium deep ruby red colour.
This Cabernet Franc has an elegant perfume of concentrated berry flavours with an herbal edge. Good oak balance is in perfect harmony with the fresh and intense fruit, balanced by a fine acid structure.

About The Harvest
All grapes were hand picked and sorted before a pure yeast culture was inoculated.
In The Cellar
The juice was pumped over the skins 3-5 times per day for 5 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was drained of the primary lees and transferred to a resting tank. Malolactic fermentation and a brief settling period preceded the wine to a combination of 225 liter barrels of French oak types. The wine spent between 12- 14 months is barrel before bottling and labeling.
