Description
In a nutshell:
South Africa's Stellenbosch offers a Cabernet Franc overflowing with elegance: think stylish black fruit, a whisper of dried herbs, and a subtle hint of spice.
The lowdown:
Aromas of graphite, fresh leaves, and ripe red fruits signal this as a classic Cabernet Franc. The palate follows through with its bright fruit profile, a touch of spice, and a clean, mineral finish. This wine hails from Stellenbosch, where its vineyards are managed sustainably. The winemaker's focus on the vineyard shines through - there's no mistaking the wine's sense of place. Overall, it's a wine of depth and complexity, well worth exploring.
The Producer:
Waterkloof, founded in 2004 by Paul Boutinot, is a haven for thoughtfully produced wines. This family-owned estate embraces organic and biodynamic practices, boasting the prestigious WWF Biodiversity Champion status. High on the Schapenberg hills, vineyards overlook False Bay, where cool breezes and long growing seasons nurture balanced grapes. In the cellar, winemaker Nadia Langenegger takes these gems and lets their natural character shine through minimal intervention. The results of her labours shine through clearly in their authentic, elegant wines.
When to drink:
This Cabernet Franc offers fresh acidity and a touch of spice - enjoy it alongside a hearty dish like slow-roasted lamb shank.
Suitable for Vegans, Biodynamic
