Swinging Bridge #008 ‘FrancRaz’ Cabernet Franc Shiraz 2022
$ 34.00 incl. GST
Description
The result of an experimental blending session, the second release of this cuvée. Both varieties are cold soaked for three days before starting fermentation and are vinified separately before blending. Kept eight months in seasoned puncheons.
“#008 is a blend of 65% Cabernet Franc and 35% Shiraz – FrancRaz… I’ll stick with #006 ‘Tempinot’ and will say a polite -no- to ‘FrancRaz’. The wine is good, though!
Raspberries, red currants, bramble, crushed twigs. It’s a little thin in the mid-palate, but fresh, leafy, herbal with pomegranate tang and a tart red plum. Pink peppercorn aroma tops the lot. Easy to like and drink. Joyous.”
90 points, Kasia Sobiesek, Winefront
