Information about "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!

Treatment in the cellar

Die Trauben wurden vor der Fermentation vier Tage lang kalt eingeweicht. Sie wurden dann gepresst und direkt in Fässer abgefüllt, wo die malolaktiosche Gärung erfolgte. Der Wein reifte 12 Monate lang in zweit -und dritt befüllten Fässern, eine Kombibation aus französischer und amerkanischer Eiche. Vor der Abfüllung wurde der Wein leicht filtriert.
