<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>

Penley Estate Spring Release Cabernet Franc Project 2018

Nightfall Aquila Cabernet Franc 2019

Nightfall wines are the epitome of luxury, style and exclusivity. Crafted from a pristine single vineyard site in the heart of Coonawarra. The Nightfall Aquila Cabernet Franc 2019 opens with perfumed florals on the nose then moves into bright red fruit on the palate. The chalky fine tannins play a significant role while the oak remains perfectly in harmony.

Bleasdale Cabernet Franc 2022

Bleasdale has been using Cabernet Franc in blends for over 25 years. The opportunity to present the varietal on its own was too hard to resist, especially as a bouncy, fresh and crunchy red

Wynns McKillop Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2024

Sourced from the McKillop Vineyard in northern Coonawarra, the 2024 vintage is the first release of a Wynns cabernet franc. Vibrant and aromatic, it bursts with red berries, florals, and subtle graphite. Juicy and bright on the palate, it offers immediate appeal and cellaring potential.
