Gertie Cabernet Franc 2023
Ben Marx produces some very tasty Cabernet Franc from very special blocks in the Clare Valley.
Although Ben doesn't hang his hat on the fact his wine has no adds except minimal sulphur just prior to bottling but it's worth a mention. Gertie is not filtered and may not be as crystal clear as some may be expecting!
Matthew Jukes "Gertie is as varietal and engaging as any Cab Franc I have ever tasted. You simply must taste this wine."
Small production Cabernet Franc, from very special blocks in the Clare Valley.
Redcurrant and blackcurrant, exotic spices, rosemary and rosy perfume. Medium-bodied, delicious crunch of sappy fruit and spice, almost a milky feel, fine silty tannin, and this kind of rosehip tea perfume trailing on a lets-go-again finish.
A little bit of whole-bunch, a few weeks on skins post-ferment to build some structure and depth
