Product information "Whalehaven Cabernet Franc 2016"
In an appealingly lively ruby red, the Whalehaven Cabernet Franc flows into the glass and exudes beguiling aromas of fragrant cedar wood and fine spices. Seductively sweet notes of dark plums and dense nuances of ripe blueberries caress the palate in a delicious way. Its well-done acidity and rustic tannin structure promise absolute pleasure. A great and well-balanced wine!

The grapes for this Cabernet Franc were subjected to a three-day cold swelling phase before fermentation. After pressing the grapes, the juice was transferred directly into barrels for malolactic fermentation. The wine matured for 12 months in a combination of French (60%) and American (40%) oak barrels, 35% of which were new wood, 40% second wood and 25% third wood. At the end of the ageing process, the wine was lightly filtered and bottled for ready consumption.
