Vineyard and Winery

Made predominantly from Old Vine Cabernet Franc (85%), the balance being a harmonious blob of Merlot. The grapes are harvested from 'old vines' (45 years) sourced from the single biggest Cabernet Franc vineyard in the world located in Lodi, Central California. The wine has spent just two months on oak to enable the true flavours and characters of the Cabernet Franc to shine through.
