This vintage brings together ripe fruit character and savoury complexity, making it an appealing choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate balanced and characterful reds.

In the glass, it presents a deep ruby-red colour, opening with aromas of blackcurrant, ripe raspberry and dark cherry, complemented by hints of violet, green herbs and subtle spice. The palate is smooth and structured, revealing layers of red and dark berries alongside notes of pepper, earth and gentle oak. Its refreshing acidity and fine-grained tannins create an elegant balance, leading to a persistent finish with lingering fruit and savoury nuances.

Cabernet Franc is valued for its ability to express both fruit and freshness, often developing distinctive herbal and floral characteristics depending on its growing environment. The 2019 vintage offers an opportunity to appreciate the variety's versatility, with a profile that combines approachable fruit with enough structure for food pairing and leisurely enjoyment. Its refined character makes it suitable for both casual dinners and more considered wine occasions.

Serve at around 16 to 18°C to allow its aromatic complexity to develop. It pairs particularly well with grilled lamb, roasted duck, beef tenderloin and herb-seasoned poultry. Its freshness also complements tomato-based pasta, mushroom risotto, charcuterie and semi-hard cheeses, making it a versatile companion to a variety of dishes.
