Description

Dry, Lemon, Raspberry

"Elegantly composed and delicately expressed on the nose showing crunchy apple, raspberry, floral and lemon zest aromas, leading to a delightfully light palate that’s vibrant and mouth-watering. Crisp-dry and linear with pristine fruit flavours" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2022

"This is a whole lot of deliciousness in a bottle! A pretty soft pink that is bursting with red berries, watermelon and a lovely strawberries and cream texture, this is a brilliant wine for any occasion. Buy and drink now!" The Wine Writer, Jun 2022

Bright aromas of red berries and brambles lead you to vibrant ripe raspberry and blackcurrant flavours. Soft and juicy, before a crisp and refreshing finish on the palate.

The Satyr Cabernet Franc is sourced from parcels within the Bridge Pa Triangle winegrowing region. Bridge Pa is the warmer site offering great concentration in flavours and palate richness, while providing intense floral and red fruit aromatics.

The Mihi Cabernet Franc Rosé is a direct pressed wine, rather than made from a bleed off (saignée) of a red fermentation, meaning that the Cabernet Franc fruit is specifically grown for this wine. The grapes are picked at optimal ripeness and then held in the press for a few hours to gain the desired amount of colour and tannin and then pressed to tank for clarification and fermentation. Different yeast are used to provide complexity and cool fermented to enhance aromatics.

Food Pairing: Enjoy chilled, served with BBQ skewered prawns, or just with good friends on a sunny afternoon.
