2017 Black Estate Cabernet Franc Cult Wine

Herbal, edgy, vibrantly fruity cool climate Cab Franc from the good folks at Black Estate.

“100% destemmed. 80% whole berry. Fermented in an open top fermenter for 28 days using Home vineyard derived yeast. Hand plunged once per day during the peak of ferment. Pressed using a basket press and aged in neutral barrique (45%) and puncheon (55%) for 7 months. No SO2 added. Un-fined and unfiltered.” – Black Estate

“Pretty crunchy smashable Cabernet Franc – no added sulphites. This is a lovely wine with some nicely drawn edges around the fruit.” – Jamie Goode
