Aotea by the Seifried Family Cabernet Franc 2019, Nelson

Aotea by the Seifried Family Cabernet Franc

A very attractive bouquet and palate with scents and flavours of plums, olives, and dark berries. There’s a natural sage or soft leaf quality, then suggestions of tobacco and violets as the wine opens out in the glass. Dry with moderately textured tannins, plenty of acidity, and flavours that reflect the fruits and non-fruits from the bouquet right through to the finish. Maturing nicely and ready to drink from the day of purchase through 2030.
