Narrative Cabernet Franc, 2018
Shipped and sold by Okanagan Crush Pad
Wine Notes: Cabernet Franc grapes sourced from organic vineyards in Kaleden and Osoyoos. The wine was fermented and aged in concrete tanks for 10 months. Flavours of red fruit coupled with an elegant mid-palate weight and supple finish.
Narrative wines tell the story of the Okanagan and its rare climate; one that is home to both an arid desert landscape and cold snowy winters, with an intense, short growing season. From this place come wines with naturally, fresh acidity and integrated fruit forwardness.
Residual Sugar: 0.9 g/L
The 2018 vintage was a featured wine in August 2023's Wine Club package.
