<p>Cabernet franc doesn’t quite enjoy the following in Australia that it does in places like France, Canada and the US. A parent of both cabernet sauvignon and merlot, it is lighter and brighter than both, which has perhaps been its downfall in a market partial to a robust red. But undeterred, labels like Airlie Bank and Ross Hill are thrusting this vibrant wine into the Aussie spotlight.</p>
