100% Cabernet Franc harvested from vines up to 35 years old. Vineyards are situated on typical St Nicolas sand and gravel. Selective picking at harvest gives a yield of 48hl/ha. Destemmed, cold macerated, then vinified with punchdowns in stainless steel prior to post-ferment maceration and very minimal filtration at bottling. Suitable for vegetarians. Sweet and fruity nose. Young, refreshing and with a spicy, cedar taste. Pretty good. Alc 12%, TA 3.3g/l, pH 3.61. Available from Wine Direct and 41 branches.
