Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2022
Bright, vibrant and juicy. Whole berry ferment and early bottling to try and capture as much yum as possible. Cabernet Franc produces modern, elegant wines that suit modern, elegant drinkers.
GROWING & MAKING: Grown by Jane and Peter Thompson (with help from my mate Dicko) in their 25-year-old Wilyabrup vineyard. The grapes were destemmed, but not crushed with the berries left whole for fermentation in an open vat. Gently hand-plunged, basket pressed and matured in neutral oak. This is all about bright fruit and vibrancy. Medium bodied, with cherries, boysenberries and pretty floral nose, this has fine tannins and a long finish. Super slurpable stuff.
Unfined, unfiltered; minimal mucking about. Vegan.
ALCOHOL: 13.6%
