2024 Circulus Cabernet Franc

Medium deep red-purple colour; sweet cassis and mulberry aromas, the palate intense and bold, with appealing balance and roundness. An approachable young wine: bright, clean and fresh with ripe flavours and aromas, measured tannins, too, which are also properly ripe and there’s no sign of astringency or bitterness. A very smart example of this grape. 92 points. Huon Hooke, The Real Review Dec 2025
