Inky dark crimson with a near-black core. Dense and powerful, reflecting the depth of Frankland River fruit.

Focused and mouth-filling, delivering intense dark fruit—blackcurrant, mulberry and plum—supported by savoury herbal tones and fine oak. The palate shows precision and depth rather than overt richness.

Fine, structured tannins provide a firm backbone, balanced by fresh acidity. The finish is long, persistent and tightly wound, with lingering dark fruit, spice and earthy complexity.

A classic Frankland River Cabernet—cool-climate, structured and age-worthy. Combines intense fruit with herbal complexity and fine tannins, built for long-term cellaring and elegant evolution.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with roast lamb, beef fillet, slow-cooked dishes or game meats. Also excellent with aged cheeses and rich, savoury meals.
