2019 The Nest Cabernet Franc *
A pure Cabernet Franc, it expresses true varietal characteristics of red currant, red berry and leafy, bracken notes. The palate has a compact style with finely compressed tannins that create a smooth, almost polished texture. The enduring freshness, intensity and elegance of this wine are the defining characters.
Vintage & Wine Notes
2019 began with a very dry winter and spring, followed by record-breaking heat and dry conditions throughout the summer. Conditions like these are challenging for shoot growth, however the silver lining is a low risk of vine disease. The warm growing season resulted in a condensed harvest with low yields. The fruit showed great concentration of flavour with marked acidity and freshness. The 2019 vintage of ThÂe Nest Cabernet Franc has delightful notes of cherry blossom, mint, raspberry, and pomegranate juice. ÂThe seamless palate showcases perfect oak and fruit balance with an incredibly long finish.
