Description

Description

A very classy and elegant Cabernet Franc. Ripe red plum flavours show beautifully on the nose and are prominent on the palate as well. They are complimented by a delicate herbaceous note of dried oregano. The tannins are powdery and elegant and give the wine a wonderfully soft texture that coats the palate. The bright crisp acidity keeps the wine vibrant. This all comes together into a long dry fruity finish, leaving you longing for the next sip
