"A blend of 63% cabernet franc, 23% merlot and 14% cabernet sauvignon. The colour is relatively light but bright, the bouquet a floral, fragrant conjunction of red and black fruits and spice, the medium-bodied palate building on the berry fruit with more savoury nuances, and fine-grained tannins providing length and mouthfeel. It will repay patience for a few years. 91 points" - James Halliday
Colour: Purple, Crimson Red.
Aromatics: Perfumed nose with florals, rasberry and blackberry fruit and spice.
Palate: Lovely silky texture with supple red and black fruits. Fine lingering tannins ensure the wine has excellent length.
Cellaring: Careful cellaring for 5 years or more.
The 2010 vintage produced structured and generous wines, with firm yet fine tannins.
Cabernet Franc is a perfumed and aromatic variety which is known for its firm tannins. We try and achieve a balance between its wonderful perfume, the burst of fruit on the front palate and its fine tannic structure. The Merlot gives mid palate weight, and the Cabernet adds to the exceptional length and structure of the wine.
Excellent with a wide range of food. Greek roast lamb with kipfler potatoes, or a turkish lamb pizza are two stand outs.
