TASTING NOTES

2019 has seen us produce our first ever single barrel Cabernet Franc. This wine is generous and uncluttered, with mulberries and raspberry evident on the nose. The palate echos the fruit profile of the nose, with dark cherries and plum developing. Subtle tannin and a lingering finish. What more can we say – yum! Enjoy now and in years to come.
