Blend: Cabernet Franc
Analysis:
Alcohol: 14 % | PH: 3.7 | Titratable acidity: 6.3 g/L
Bottling Date: August 2018
Cellaring: 5 + years
Tasting Notes:
An intense nose of casis, black cherry, spiced black plums, dried herbs, dark chocolate, nutmeg and licorice with the grape’s signature floral potpourri, lavender and violet notes. The palate is medium bodied, silky in texture with lovely ripe tannins housing the blueberry, black plum and raspberry fruit and the complex elements of shortbread, pink peppercorns, dried flowers and a graphite minerality on the long finish.
Wine Making:
2016 was another amazing growing season. Spring arrived early: sunny and warm with just enough rain to boost canopy growth. July and August added ideal summer heat, ripening the grapes slowly. red grapes benefited from warm days and cool nights fully developing their flavours while retaining their acidity.
