Cabernet Franc 2022

Elegant and expressive, the Mitre’s Edge Cabernet Franc showcases the variety’s distinctive charm in every glass. A dark, rich garnet hue hints at the depth within — aromas of soft red and black fruit mingle with green pepper, liquorice, and subtle earthy undertones. The palate is smooth and layered, offering refined tannins and a lingering, savoury finish.

Balanced, aromatic, and quietly complex, it’s a wine that captures both structure and softness — a true reflection of the Mitre’s Edge winemaking style.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

This Cabernet Franc pairs beautifully with dishes that complement its peppery herbaceousness and berry-rich core: think pan-fried lamb chops, beef dishes (like a flank steak or beef kebabs), mince-based savoury dishes and even herb-infused vegetable roasts. Serve slightly cool (around 16-18 °C) to let its aromatic complexity open, and decant briefly if possible for fuller expression.
