2019 Black Estate Cabernet Franc Cult Wine

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

“From the top corner of our Home Vineyard.  Pure, forest fruits, black current, underlying earth with autumnal vine leaves and pruning’s. Dense, vibrant and succulent from its home of clay, with a lovely thread and bright crunch.  Eighty percent of the fruit was fermented and aged in amphora, the remainder aged in neutral barrel.  Bottled without sulphur or any inputs, fining or filtering. Decant before serving.  Drink now to 2026” – 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 (2017 Vintage)
