Details
The Blaauwklippen Cabernet Franc Reserve 2019 is a premium single-vineyard wine from Stellenbosch. With grapes sourced from a North-East-facing vineyard on high-potential Tukulu soils, this wine showcases meticulous winemaking techniques and careful aging in French oak barrels.
Key Features and Benefits
- 100% Cabernet Franc: Made from a single vineyard with an annual production of 5-7 tons/ha.
- French Oak Aging: Aged in 300L French oak barrels, 29% of which are first fill, for a rich, complex flavor.
- Handcrafted Quality: Handpicked grapes with whole berry fermentation and 21 days of skin contact.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Sumptuous red fruit and cassis with nuances of sweet cinnamon, violets, and delicate cedarwood.
- Palate: Velvet-textured tannins with a sweet mid-palate weight, leading to an elegant, aromatic finish.
- Finish: Long, with a refined balance of fruit and spice.
Winemaker's Notes
The grapes were handpicked, and whole berry fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with twice-daily pump-overs. After 21 days of skin contact, the wine underwent malolactic fermentation in 300L French oak barrels. A barrel selection of the best barrels was made for the final blend.
