Watson Family Cabernet Franc 2020
$27.00 inc. GST
The colour is an intense crimson. The nose is lifted and floral, with an array of Provencal herbs mixed with blue fruits. The palate is vibrant and pristine- with juicy red fruits sitting on top of a brambly tannin backbone. The wine finishes bright and long with sweet ripe red berry fruits.
Description
This wine was sourced from a single vineyard in the Wilyabrup Valley of Margaret River, a sub region known for producing plush wines with ripe tannins. Harvested in mid April. Using a gravity fed system, the fruit was destemmed, sorted berry by berry, lightly crushed and transferred to a stainless steel fermenter. Fermentation lasted eight days, during which time the must was pumped over four times a day for extraction of flavour and tannin. After 5 months, the wine was removed from barrel to retain bright varietal aromatics and flavours.
