Oldenburg Vineyards Cabernet Franc 2019

This wine has an incredibly generous nose, with vanilla pod, mulberry black plums and liquorice at the thick of it. The palate showcases a depth of flavour with blackcurrant leaf, thyme and grapefruit-pith adding to the plethora of aromas and flavours. A stunning acidity, well-structured, chalky tannins and a delightful finish bring this wine to life. This cooler vintage wine has a brilliant future ahead of it and should develop spectacularly over the next 15 years.

Grapes were harvested and sorted carefully by hand, and cold soaked for 5 days before fermentation was initiated. Pump overs were performed up to three times daily. Malolactic conversion was in barrel. The wine was matured in French oak barrels for 18 months. 29% of barrels used were 225L with the balance in 300L. The wine was bottled in November 2020.
