Our Black Label Cabernet Franc comes from a well placed Yarra Valley site in the Melba Valley. Cabernet Franc is the parent grape of Cabernet and Merlot, like its former offspring, in this cool climate style you can expect a distinct herbaceous scent on the nose. Unlike its kin, expect zingy red berry tartness and a crisp finish. Grippy tannins make the wine all the more savoury.
