Winemakers Notes
Cabernet Franc is a perfumed and aromatic variety which is known for its firm tannins. We try and achieve a balance between its wonderful perfume, the burst of fruit on the front palate and its fine tannic structure. The Merlot gives mid palate weight, and the Cabernet adds to the exceptional length and structure of the wine.
Food Pairing
Excellent with a wide range of food. Greek roast lamb with kipfler potatoes, or a turkish lamb pizza are two stand outs.
