Glass Collection Cabernet Franc 2020

The Cabernet Franc comes from parcels higher on the slopes of the Simonsberg mountain and it shows in the concentration of the wine.

The wine has tremendous brilliance with a rich and bright inky purple colour. The nose entices with its garrigue character of dried thyme, oregano, and cape fynbos with a background of warm stones. The palate is dominated by aromas of dark cherries, blueberries and graphite that gives great interest. The tannins are silky, and the finish is long and smooth.

The grapes were lightly crushed into stainless steel tanks. The fermentation was done by natural yeast with a mixture of rack and returns and open pump overs. Post fermentation skin contact for 2-3 weeks and pressed gently. Malolactic fermentation occurred in French oak barrels. Racked on average every 4 months. Matured during 12 months in oak.
