Saint Clair Block 30 Table Top Cabernet Franc 2020
Tax included.
Deep ruby in colour and impressively structured with great mouthfeel and lively acidity supporting the seductive tannins of Cabernet Franc. Grapes grown in the Gimblett Gravels Winegrowing District of Hawke?s Bay were cold soaked for four days prior to ferment to help extract maximum flavour and enhance colour stability. Fermentation included hand plunging for up to four times daily. The wine was pressed and then racked off gross lees to 14 per cent new French oak.
This is modestly priced for such an impressive wine that is clearly a keeper, for those with willpower.
