From the heart of Coonawarra’s famed terra rossa soils comes a captivating expression of Cabernet Franc — a variety rarely seen on its own in Australia, yet one that flourishes here with poise and aromatic charm. The 2024 vintage delivered warm, dry days and cool nights, allowing the fruit to reach full ripeness while retaining freshness and purity. The result is a beautifully perfumed red showing violet, dark cherry and blackberry notes with subtle hints of dried herbs and spice. On the palate, it’s silky and textured, with fine tannins and bright acidity driving a long, elegant finish.

This wine captures the essence of Coonawarra — refinement, balance, and an unmistakable regional lift. It’s immediately appealing yet structured enough to reward a few years in the cellar. Perfect with roast lamb, game or richly flavoured dishes, it’s a standout example of Cabernet Franc crafted with precision and restraint — an enticing alternative for lovers of classic Cabernet and those seeking something distinctively elegant.
