Expression Cabernet Franc Rosé 2023
Tasting Notes
Pale pink in the glass. The nose is intense with aromas of wild strawberries, candied cherries and a touch of fresh rose petal. The palate is dry, with refreshing acidity and flavours of sour cherry, watermelon, fresh raspberry and cranberry skin. The finish is long and persistent with lingering notes of candied berries.
Drink well chilled on release with caprese salad, grilled tuna or a charcuterie board. Will soften and develop further complexities with medium-term aging.

Wine, like art, is an expression. An expression of the winemaker’s style, the vineyard’s terroir, the grape variety, and your taste.

Pale pink. Pronounced strawberry aromatics lead to a dry, fruit driven palate with some lees work apparent for texture. Tangy, refreshing finish. Will work with food and stand on its own. Tasted blind at NWAC June 2024.
