On colour
The Mitre's Edge Cabernet Franc 2021 displays a deep, rich garnet hue with intense black tones at the core, indicating both concentration and youthfulness in the glass.
On the nose
The nose is perfumed and expressive, delivering aromas of ripe red and black fruits layered with classic green pepper notes and a subtle undertone of liquorice. There is an additional nuance of tomato leaf and a whiff of leather, lending a savoury complexity to the aromatic profile.
On the palate
On the palate, this wine is elegant yet powerful, bringing forward soft dark fruit flavours, supple tannins, and undertones of green pepper and spice. Integrated oak ageing gives a rounded mouthfeel and introduces light hints of leather and liquorice, with the wine remaining fresh and balanced through a medium finish.
On the whole
A poised and aromatically complex Cabernet Franc, deftly balancing ripe fruit, savoury spice, and polished structure.
