”Clean fruit, taught with graphite and crisply starched acidity. Well-poised and ageworthy. The palate offers very good concentration of fruit and balance. Built to last. Excellent length.

”Mulch, tomato paste and leaf, correct volatility and splitting atoms on the palate. Really, really chewy stuff. Drink 2021-2024.

Crunchy red fruit with tomato leaf and spice notes on the nose and medium-bodied palate. Good fruit concentration with well-handled oak and fine tannins. Very long finish.”

Fruit was hand harvested at the end of October 2018. The wine was fermented with natural non-selective yeast and took over a month to reach dryness. Pressed gently after four weeks on the skins and settled in tank off heavy lees. The wine was put to barrel at the start of 2019 into 3rd fill French oak barrels - chosen to highlight the perfect growing conditions of 2018 and the beautiful fruit.
A dark and earthy Cabernet Franc with peppery notes of black licorice laced with aromatic thyme, beets and blackberries on the nose. The palate is generous and rich with a firm tannin structure and medium acidity. A pure expression of the Foxcroft Vineyard.
