Description

The Cabernet Franc is a dark, inky coloured wine with raspberry leaf aromas, brambles and blueberries. The flavours continue through to the medium bodied palate, finishing with satisfying crunchy acid. This is a gentle approach to Cab Franc, heavy on approachability and the refreshment scale.

The grapes are grown organically by my lovely growers Bridget & Miles at the TK Vineyard, in Bridge Pa, Hawke’s Bay. The vines are 23 years old and I have 10 rows in total. Having allocated rows allows me to apply Biodynamic preparations to the soil and canopies during the growing season, as well as contributing to various vine work. No additions at any stage, including sulphur. The wine is unfiltered and unfined.

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Amoise

Often found working in the vineyards, I believe in connecting to the vines that produce my wines each year.

My time living and working in various wine regions worldwide allowed me learn from hardworking vignerons who put their energies and efforts into the vineyards to enable them to simply guide their grapes to the winery and bottle with minimal intervention.

I believe in capturing the grapes at the best possible moment so that my wines can be their most expressive of the vintage. Each growing season has a different story to tell.

-Amy Farnsworth (aka Amoise)

--------THE REGION--------

Hawkes Bay

Sunny Hawkes Bay is along the eastern coast of New Zealand's north island. It is here where some of the most fruit-forward wines come from. They are known for their tropical Chardonnays and their juicy reds from the excellent Bordeaux wines to the peppery Syrahs.
