2023 Somos Cabernet Franc

The Somos take on Cabernet Franc is just the kind of red we want more of - fragrant, juicy, and refreshingly unpretentious.

Mauricio Ruiz Cantu sourced the fruit from a small site in Willunga, picking in two passes: an early pick to keep the herbaceous lift and crunch, and a later one for roundness and depth. It’s wild fermented, pressed early, then left to chill in old oak for nine months before bottling.

This is Cab Franc without the elbows - no overworked oak, no heavy structure - just bright, lifted red fruits, leafy crunch and a gentle savoury line. Think picnic reds, pasta night, or just a couch and a glass.

Super fresh, super fun, and bang on for the modern Aussie wine drinker.
