This young wine is vibrant, sensuous, and full of density and power.
A 50/50 blend of the two varieties, and solely from the Wilyabrup Valley, this Cabernet Franc Merlot shows off the incredible character of 2018.
A forest of brambly, wild raspberry and mulberry aromas feature on the nose. The palate follows, adding hints of dried citrus peel, berry confiture, ceylon tea and cinnamon, and glides through to the finish with plush tannins and well-balanced acidity.
This wine is very comforting in nature, and really brings a smile. It’s great now, but will continue to develop and deepen over the next 6 years.
