Made predominantly from Old Vine Cabernet Franc (85%), the balance being a harmonious blob ofMerlot. The grapes are harvested from ‘old vines’ (45 years) sourced from the single biggest CabernetFranc vineyard in the world located in Lodi, Central California. The wine has spent just two months onoak to enable the true flavours and characters of the Cabernet Franc to shine through.

A broad swathe of impressively rich and brooding fruit greets the palate. Dark, leafy and generous with breadth and depth on the long finish.

This is a food wine that really lends itself to vegetarian dishes. Try it with grilled eggplant or zucchini, or with meals containing green peppers (capsicums), cabbage, or herbs (particularly sage, thyme, rosemary or saffron). A versatile wine that is also fantastic with tomato based dishes; lighter meats such as turkey or chicken, along with game meats like duck; and richer beef based dishes like steak or veal.
