Bright ruby red, this Old World inspired Cabernet Franc opens with a distinctive chalky minerality on the nose, layered with hints of peppery perfume and subtle spice. The palate reveals vibrant red berry fruit, complemented by nuanced notes of cherry and cracked peppercorn. A firm structure is balanced by soft, well integrated tannins, leading to a long, elegant finish. Fresh acidity enhances the wine’s versatility, making it a superb companion to food. It pairs beautifully with tomato based dishes. The wine’s savoury depth and bright fruit also make it an excellent match for roasted pork, beef stew, meatballs in tomato sauce, roasted duck, venison, or lamb.
