Description
In a nutshell:
Elegant and ripe South African Cabernet Franc from Stellenbosch.
The lowdown:
Cabernet Franc is more widely known as one of the main grapes of the right bank of Bordeaux and the central part of the Loire Valley however South Africa, and in particular Stellenbosch and the surrounding Cape, are producing some excellent examples at the moment. This wine from one of our favourite producers, Journey's End, is from a single vineyard 180m above sea level and has been hand sorted before fermenting in large oak foudres and then maturing in second fill oak barrels for 14 months. The result is a smooth, medium-full bodied wine with classic ripe red cherry aromas, notes of savoury kalamata olives, sweet cinnamon spice, and floral and herbaceous touches. On the palate there is a freshness, balanced acidity and soft tannins.
When to drink:
Will work particularly well with cheese and tomato based pasta dishes, try also with roast lamb or meatballs in tomato sauce.
Suitable for Vegans
