Cabernet Franc 2022 Organic Red Wine
€21.49
Soft, fresh and spicy, this Cabernet vigorously expresses its unmistakable character. Vinified in steel and in large barrels, it evokes a reminiscence of herbs and spices, such as clove, on the nose. In the mouth, it impresses with its full flavour and well-integrated tannin, bringing out a distinct hint of liquorice. The black pepper finish supports a persistent balsamic note, where the red fruit traces a clear and progressive taste line.
75 cl, 14,5 % Vol.
A dark ruby colour with broad and intense aromas, completed with hints of spices. Expressed with a pronounced flavour of black pepper on red fruits and hints of currants. In the finish, liquorice supports a balsamic note, typical of limestone clay soils.
Perfect with game and goose casserole.
Serve at 17°C.
