Description
Trail Estate Winery Cabernet Franc Hedonism 2016
Trail Estate Winery Cabernet Franc Hedonism has an enticing dark garnet colour. Exceptionally rich, big and bold. The bouquet opens with rich red and dark fruit, leather and cedar spice, and chocolate aromatics. Full-bodied and complex, with well-integrated soft tannins and a lively acidity. Lots of savoury sharp raspberry, black currant, blueberries, ripe cherry and warm spice flavours emerge on the palate. The dry finish has distinctive notes of chocolate and raspberry.

100% Cabernet Franc from a new vineyard: Wingfield Vineyard – VQA Twenty Mile Bench VQA.
After harvesting and destemming, the fruit goes through inoculation with a yeast strain selected to extract pure fruit. the wine ages in Hungarian (2nd fill) and French (1st fill) oak for 27 months. Bottling without fining or filtering.
