Wine Tasting Notes:
On colour
Rainbow’s End Cabernet Franc 2022 is best described as deep ruby with a bright purple rim, giving a youthful, vibrant appearance in the glass.
On the nose
The nose shows lifted redcurrant and black cherry with floral violet tones and a gentle leafy, herbal character typical of Cabernet Franc.
On the palate
On the palate it is dry, medium to full-bodied, with juicy red and black fruit, fresh acidity and fine, slightly grippy tannins leading to a gently savoury finish.
On the whole
A lively, aromatic Cabernet Franc with bright fruit, floral lift and fine, food-friendly structure.
