Amoise Cabernet Franc 2023
Organic & biodynamic Cabernet Franc from 26 year old vines. Fresh violets & lifted florals, followed with appealing dark green leaf aromas of Pohutukawa, brambles & blueberries. Supple, playful soft tannins & finishing with satisfyingly crunchy acidity. **Can be served lightly chilled**
Description
This Cabernet Franc is a soft and crunchy style, suitable for light chilling with raspberry leaf aromas, brambles and blueberries. This is a gentle approach to Cab Franc, heavy on approachability and the refreshment scale.
The grapes are grown organically by my lovely growers Bridget & Miles at the TK Vineyard, in Bridge Pa, Hawke’s Bay. The vines are 24 years old and I have 10 rows in total. Having allocated rows allows me to apply Biodynamic preparations to the soil and canopies during the growing season, as well as contributing to various vine work. No additions at any stage, including sulphur. The wine is unfiltered and unfined.
