STOCKMAN'S RIDGE 'SIGNATURE RANGE' CABERNET FRANC 2022

STOCKMAN'S RIDGE 'SIGNATURE RANGE' CABERNET FRANC 2022 ($45 / Orange, NSW)

The expected Cabernet Franc varietal characteristics, whilst lurking in the background, are somewhat subdued and not as assertive as expected from a young Cabernet Franc.

The French oak and grippy cool-climate acid components are currently dominant.

The glycerol-glide (14% Alc) encourages food-friendly matches. 

Definitely one to be shared over robust meals, as we did with our lamb and freshly harvested cauliflower roast.
