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

Geyer Wine Co.

Geyer Wine Co is a natural wine producer from the Barossa Valley. In an ode to ancestry, but with eyes fixed firmly on the future, we revive and nurture the neglected vineyards of the region to produce honest, innovative and thoroughly delicious wines – an artful convergence of heritage and heresy.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Cabernet Franc

Cabernet Franc is a red grape that isn't made into single varietal wines not nearly as much as it should. Instead it is one of the main grape varieties in the 'Bordeaux Blend' where it is blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon but will usually be lucky to make up more than 10-20% of the blend. It really comes into its own in the Loire Valley, specifically in Chinon and Bourgeuil, where it shows off its more herbaceous and lighter characteristic.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Barossa Valley

Barossa Valley is one of the most well known regions across Australia as well as being one of the most established. It is red wine country with some of the most concentrated red wines of the world being produced here. Shiraz is king followed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot - recently Grenache and Mouvedre are finding more popularity.
