Cabernet Franc, Gabrielskloof 2020 Bottle:1 while the palate is medium

while the palate is medium bodied with food-friendly acidity

The 2017 Ronchi di Cialla Verduzzo is a sweet

For me it is up there with Léoville-Barton and Gruaud-Larose and very often outperforms them

Again a lot of apple and pear with hints of nutmeg and fresh almonds

Finishes with lovely length and lift

Cabernet Franc, Gabrielskloof 2020 Bottle:1 while the palate is mediumPlush red and black fruits specifically cassis and red plum along with a coffee, subtle pea shoot herbaceousness and an alluring, lightly peaty smokiness make this a complex and classically Loire style expression. With fine and finessed tannins delivering a rounded mouthfeel, the wines full fruited intensity and structure make for a balanced and poised vintage.
