Natalie's Score: 88/100

Rich, savoury and juicy with aromas of redcurrant and cranberry. This wine was aged in both French and American oak. No fining agent was used for this organic wine so it's suitable for vegans & vegetarians.

Cabernet Franc food pairings: braised beef ribs in a cabernet sauce, steak.

Cluster sorting, destemming and 50% crushing of grapes to stainless steel as well as oak vats. Indigenous fermentation over four weeks. Cap management via delestage three times daily with gentle manual pigage during the finish of maceration. Gently pressed and settled prior to barrel aging in both French and American oak.
