Meet Cabaret Frank & his Fabulous Facial Furniture! A 'proper' wine that, for the money, is generous on all fronts. 

Made predominantly from Old Vine Cabernet Franc, the balance of Cabernet Sauvignon brings out even more of the finesse to this wine. Full, rich and dark with cherry fruits and a smoky twist.

A delicious French Rose with all the style and sophistication that characterise French wines.

Vivid pale strawberry pink with aromas of crushed red berries and appealing soft fruity flavours. Dry with plenty of fruit with some crunchy acidity on the finish. This is an easy drinking fresh rosé with real character.

ABV: 12%

Grapes:  40% Tannat, 30% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc

Vinified from the local Tannat grape variety with some Cabernet Franc and Merlot, harvested fully ripe in October. In the winery the secret of modern rosé vinification is to capture all the delicate aromatics and flavours of red grape varieties but then to cool vinify the pale-coloured juice with all the expertise of white wine vinification.

This is superb value for money rosé, 100% Cabernet Franc rose from the slopes of Stellenbosch's Simonsburg Mountain.-----

Zorgvliet's focus is entirely Bordelaise so a Cab Franc rose is a natural fit and a delightfully different product within our South African portfolio. Pale onion skin colour with bright, crunchy red cherry fruit flavours and a full, textural finish.

Cabernet Franc is like a HD High Definition version of Cabernet Sauvignon. Tighter, more defined, structure and intensity (but not fruit) at 11 rather than 10 ( Spinal Tap reference...!). Rather like Spinal Tap, you need a Camberwell Carrot to really 'dig' the complexity of this wine...

A balance of red fruit with hints of freshly shave pencil - remember that note at school when you shaved a pencil - wood, graphite, paint... Delicious as a background to the fruit.

Made from a blend of six indigenous and international grape varieties, this is a truly distinctive wine, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Tempranillo, Petit Verdot, Graciano and Cabernet Franc, each adding a new dimension and complexity. 

The grapes were hand picked and aged in a mixture of American and French oak barrels for 6 -12 months. The result is a full-flavoured wine, with intense berry aromas, beautifully integrated sweet oak and hints of leather and spice.

Wine has been in the blood of the Petit family since the eighteenth century but they did not buy this particular Château until 1998. Situated in the commune of Néac, what makes this property so special is the south-west facing, clay/gravel slope on which it sits, just across the Barbanne valley from its near neighbour Pétrus. These conditions are perfect for the ripening of Merlot and Cabernet Franc

Garnet in colour. Green bell pepper and bramble berries on the nose with faint hints of forest floor. Raspberry, dark red cherry and wet gravel on the palate with a spiciness throughout, with soft tannins. Long mineral finish with leafy elements.
