Mulderbosch Cabernet Franc 2016

The appearance is a densely coloured core with a vibrant crimson rim. The nose is filled with bramble-like fruit and notes of fennel and cigar spice.The firm palate shows classic Cabernet Franc structure and texture. Savoury in style, the graphite textured tannins are edged by good acidity, keeping the palate lively and fresh. The dry finish is offset by a slightly succulent roundness, providing a well balanced, lasting mouthfeel. 14.5% ABV.

The Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc is sourced from a vineyard on the Mulderbosch farm where it thrives on the free draining ‘koffieklip’ soils of the Southern slopes of Stellenbosch Kloof, 12-odd kilometres from False Bay. We’ve been carefully assessing one particular vineyard for consistent quality worthy of a single vineyard bottling. 93 Points Tim Atkin, Top 6 Cabernet Franc Challenge 2019.
