Description
The wine
Cabernet Franc isn't common in McLaren Vale, but this wine makes the case for it. The fruit comes from vines planted in 1988 at the Sands vineyard in McLaren Flat, on an ancient sand-dune ridge over black clay. It is wild-fermented in small open fermenters, hand-plunged twice a day, with five weeks on skins, then aged for 15 months in seasoned French hogsheads.
Tasting notes
Violets, alpine herbs and mint chocolate, with real purity and lift.
How to enjoy
Serve at 15–16°C. Try it with Chabichou du Poitou AOP, Saint Nectaire AOP or Cornish Kern.
