Region : Adelaide Hill, Australia
Vineyard : Sourced from our estate vineyard in Oakbank of the Adelaide Hills, at 400m.This receives cool nights to retain good natural acidity and freshness. The Cabernet Franc is from a particularly sandy part with a touch of Quartz which adds in the lifted fruit quality of this wine. Sustainable practices. Zero herbicide, organic program.
Variety : 100% cabernet franc
Soil : particularly sandy part with a touch of Quartz
Harvest Date : March 2019
Growing environment : 2019 gave little but concentrated clean fruit, with average spring rainfall and a very dry summer, several heat-waves near harvest result in early picking, importantly cold nights through out Feb/Mar help retain brightness to the fruit profile and high natural acidity.
Style/Palate: palate is deep and spicy, with a long, refreshing and meaty close.
Aroma : dark cherry, tree sap and violet aromas and flavors
Alcohol : 12.5%
Drinkable Period: 2020 - 2023
Winemaking : 2nd year release. Only two tonnes of Cabernet Franc, two ferments, one de-stemmed other 100% whole bunch, part Carbonic maceration. Average 35% whole bunch. Maturation in older French barriques for 6 months.
This wine is made to best express both the unique characters of Cabernet Franc and of the Adelaide Hills, using a more hands off winemaking approach with more traditional techniques. Including a high proportion of whole bunches, natural fermentation from indigenous yeast, no acidification and bottling without any fining or filtration.
Score : Wine Front 91 points
