Wildekrans Barrel Select Reserve Cabernet Franc 2018

A soft first impression to this wine.The nose is full with rich red fruit and a slight fynbos note. Very smooth, surprisingly gentle tannins, underpinned with blackcurrant, and good spicy depth.

Goes well with big cuts of Steak / Portobello Mushrooms / Olives
