Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc appears in 9 articles of hers, from 2022 to 2026.
In her words
Cabernet Franc from Chile: bold, expressive and full of character.
Merlot/Cabernet Franc blend with dark fruit, macerated cherry, tension and freshness.
Their cabernet franc is peppered with a hint of malbec, displaying real freshness and tannic grip.
Also very popular is the ‘Gran Enemigo’ cabernet franc-dominated blend with Cabernet Sauvignon, petit verdot and merlot.
In my on site tasting, they poured - chardonnay 2019, malbec 2018 and cabernet franc 2018 in this order, which makes sense when you sip the cab franc as it is so powerful and strong, bigger than malbec.
Cabernet Franc is a grape often found in a Bordeaux blend but when she was tasting spotted the grapes solo potential and entered to the young wine competition and as a single variety come out with shining results, so Lisha decided to take a punt on 2014 vintage and not blend the Cabernet France but bottle 10 barrels.
