The 2019 Cabernet Franc is deep ruby in colour with a beautiful burgundy rim. The ripe red berry aromas of cooked strawberry, raspberry and cranberry dominate this complex bouquet. Secondary aromas of vanilla spice, oak chips and tobacco add on as the sensation develops. Decanting or swirling this wine is a must, because the unique aroma of this wine constantly develops and you don’t want to miss out on its fragrant surprises. This full bodied wine with its fruity tannin has a solid astringency that guides the multitude of flavours right through to the long and lingering finish. You will experience cranberries and raspberries initially and cigar box and oak towards the finish, as the beautiful, smooth tannin structure keep you enticed until the end. Enjoyable as is right out of the bottle as purchased, keeping one or two bottles aside to age to full potential for 5 to 10 years will only unlock this wine’s true potential. Once opened, enjoy on its own or blow the taste buds and olfactory system away by pairing it with cured meat, cold cuts and a selection of cheeses.

On Mischa Estate the Cabernet Franc is very close to our hearts, so a lot of attention is given to its vineyard. Firstly, this improves the growing conditions to, secondly, create the optimal microclimate for the grapes, therefore creating a unique and exhilarating Cabernet Franc year on year.
