Matured in 500-litre barrels for 16 months, 40% new, the wine is unmistakably Cabernet Franc, with notes of crushed leaves, violets, earth and sweet spice leading into an elegant, refined palate of succulent, red fruits and lively acidity. Grippy and fresh, tight and savoury, the fine tannins combine with just enough grip to balance the concentrated red fruit.
