2021 Cherubino Laissez Faire Cabernet Franc, Margaret River

Red, wet earth, black cherries, mulberry and subtle oak all contribute to this complex wine. A modest alcohol injects a note of juicy freshness to the core of supple, medium-bodied blackcurrant fruit, the tannins picking up nuances of earth and licorice. The tannins are soft, long and complex.

The fruit was hand harvested and transported to the winery where it was cooled overnight and hand sorted. Maceration lasted for six weeks with minimal pump overs and temperatures ranging for 12-27C. The wine was pressed to tank and allowed to settle for 7 days prior to oak maturation. A range of coopers were used in the wine’s development.
