The Oldenburg Vineyards Series is a true expression of terroir through a range of single cultivar wines and the confluence of the 8 natural elements that determine the unique terroir is explored through these wines. The 8 elements are depicted on the intricate Oldenburg Vineyards Series label design. Grapes for the Cabernet Franc 2017 were harvested on 13 March 2017 at 23.2° Balling. Grapes were sorted carefully by hand, and cold soaked for 3 days before fermentation was initiated. Pump-overs were performed three times daily. Wines were matured for 19 months in 300-litre French oak barrels in 17% new oak. 7,958 bottles were produced. Residual sugar: 1.6g/l. Bottled at 14%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Aromas of rhubarb, jasmine, and redcurrants, with the distinctive green bell pepper aroma that so thoroughly appeals to Cabernet Franc enthusiasts.

Palate: Soft and elegant, with notes of green pepper, loganberries and violets. The acidity draws out the flavours, while the tannins soften the wine in a plushy display of graceful symmetry.

Finish: An enduring finish rounds off this splendid wine.
