Cabernet Franc 2024

$40.00

GOLD – HAWKE’S BAY A&P WINE AWARDS 2025

True to our prediction This wine has won another gold medal on release. This gives us a total of 7 trophies and  8 gold medals since 2014 for our Cabernet Franc alone. I think we can claim to know what we are doing with this wonderful variety!

The 2024 summer was a very kind one for grape growing. The crops were very light naturally, after the challenging 2023 summer and a cool spring, resulted in low fruit set. The fruit came in amazing condition. Picked on the 10th of April at 25.1 brix, in perfect condition..

Violets, spice, chocolate, and damson plum saturate the nose whilst the palate is rich and opulent giving loads of dark red fruits. The tannins give the wine plenty of structure, also providing longevity for many years to come.
