The striking 2018 vintage (5*) was harvested from mature, estate-grown vines. Deeply coloured, it is very fragrant and full-bodied, with highly concentrated blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, a hint of herbs, finely integrated oak, fresh acidity, and a finely textured, long finish. One of the finest Cabernet Francs ever produced in the South Island, it's already delicious, but likely to be at its best 2021+.
