Eikendal Infused by Earth Cabernet Franc 2017

A lot of care, passion and long hours went into producing this exceptional estate classic. Nuances of cracked pepper, pencil shavings and a fresh meat character combined with firm day tannins, refreshing acidity and well-judged wood treatment. The wine is well balanced with a lingering savoury and red-fruited finish.

Pair with Lamb Meatballs in Tomato Sauce, Turkey with Cranberry, Roasted Camembert & Rosemary.
