$33.00 per single bottle
There is no doubting the trendy nature of Cabernet Franc these days, but many Australian examples are underwhelming. Not so the 2019 Franc and Friends from Dappled. Fragrant, with black, bramble, red fruits and rosemary. Bright, vital and crunchy palate, the fruit on tippy toes and sleek, slippery tannins. Its very long and balanced, and […]

“This sample was tasted from cement cuve, the wine resting here after a period in barrel, before bottling. It has seen out a year in barrique, and will pass nine months in cement cuve before bottling. The colour here is nothing less than striking, shimmering yet opaque, and Matthieu and I migrated to the door […]

“Tasted at the domaine, about three months after the bottling. This is an impressive ‘wow’ wine aromatically, perfumed and fresh, with toasted cherry and bright peach stone on the nose. The palate is divine, textured, complete and finessed, cleanly defined, pure and correct. Incredible fruit, cut through with a chalky, talc-like mineral substance, showing a […]

Sublime wine. Soaring perfume of red fruits, spice and hints of Rosemary. The palate is utterly seductive. Plush and soft with a wealth of red fruits and the slinkiest sveldt tannins that hold the wine’s notes perfectly. The most sensual Cabernet Franc that I can remember having and has challenged my preconceptions about this varietal. WWC, […]
