Varietal: Cabernet Franc

Vintage: 2021

SKU: 849885

100% Organic Cabernet Franc



Tasting Notes: Velvety, fresh and characterful. This classic Cabernet Franc gives ripe, zesty notes of black plum, blackberry with a hint of crushed gravel minerality. Amidst the intensely concentrated fruit flavours, savoury notes of graphite and sage intrigue the palate. Pillowy and soft on the palate, while bright acidity, ripe tannins and toasty oak lead to a rounded finish.

Farm Notes: Organic grapes were hand harvested from Esther Vineyard (Kaleden, BC) and Sekhon Vineyard (Osoyoos, BC). South Okanagan soils rich with silt and glacial rock provide an exceptional site for Cabernet Franc. The 2021 growing season was defined by extreme heat, resulting in a challenging but high-quality, concentrated berries and early harvest, creating intense, flavour-packed wines

Maker Notes: The wine fermented in a 10,000L oak foudre. It was then racked into neutral oak barriques where it rested for 24 months before bottling

Food Pairing Notes: Try with roasted chicken, smoky sausages or aged cheeses.
