'The grapes for our 2021 Cabernet Franc are from The Devil’s Wishbone (74%) vineyard and the South Bay vineyard (26%) here in Prince Edward County. The 2021 growing season was relatively cool which resulted in a lighter bodied Cabernet Franc with vivid fruit flavours. After hand harvesting, the grapes were destemmed to whole berries. They were then cold soaked and fermented as whole berries for a total time of about 40 days to help extract the fruit flavours while not extracting too much tannin. The wine was then aged in older French oak barrels for 14 months and is unfiltered. The resulting wine begins with sharp-tasting strong fruit with bright raspberry and pomegranate flavours and a lot of depth which is met by a sea of light tannins that quickly intensify into a very long satisfying finish. The beginning strong fruit stays with the finishing tannins in a beautiful blend that is long lasting.'
