Tasting Notes

A poised and perfumed Cabernet Franc, offering bright red cherry, violets, and wet tobacco on the nose. The palate is supple yet structured, with refined tannins and a deep core of red fruit. Subtle savoury nuances emerge on the finish, where delicate tobacco and earthy notes add complexity. Elegant and expressive, with a long, lingering finish.

About The Harvest

Grapes are hand-harvested

In The Cellar

Grapes were cooled overnight before being destemmed and fermented in open-top concrete tanks. Gentle extraction was achieved through two light pump-overs per day. The wine was matured for 16 months in second- and third-fill 225L French oak barrels.
