Thistle And Weed Knapsekerel Cabernet Franc 2022

A beautifully poised Cabernet Franc from Thistle & Weed, sourced from seven rows of biodynamically farmed vines in the Polkadraai Hills of Stellenbosch. Rose, cranberry, fresh herbs, plum and black cherry lead into a light, elegant palate with vibrant acidity, powdery tannins and a delicate earthy finish.

Food Pairing: Herb-grilled lamb, roast duck, grilled vegetables, mushroom dishes and charcuterie complement its fresh red fruit, herbal character and fine tannins.

90 Points - Wine Spectator

A potpourri of dried herbs and flowers on the nose carries through the tangy notes of macerated cherry, raspberry paste and orange peel set in this bright, silky, light- to medium-bodied red, showing good focus through the well-spiced finish. Drink now.

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast

A delicate nose offers light notes of violets. Soft and leaning towards herbaceous, the palate expresses flavors of red fruit and thyme that continue into a fresh finish.
