“A translucent violet in colour. The nose is lifted, aromatic, brooding with violet leaf, red and blue fruit, jalapeno and pencil shavings. There is roasted bell pepper, ashes, rose petals, mulberry; exactly what this vineyard smells like after a summer rain. Balanced and crisp, the wine has a bright, pure mouth feel and a long smooth finish with grip.
"Our eighth Cabernet Franc, we skipped 2019, 100% grown from a neighbouring vineyard planted in 2001 and made at Brash HQ. Vintage 2022 provided top growing conditions with an even season punctuated by small berry set. Yields were quite low for this vineyard and we only made 180 cases. The idea for this FRNC was to focus on the aromatics and vibrancy of the fruit." - Brash Higgins
