product description
Paritua Stone Paddock Cabernet Franc 2021
Tasting Note
The wine has a bright red ruby
edge, a beautifully scented nose of red currant,
blackberry and floral aromas of violets and jasmine, with
hints of sweet cocoa powder, and dried herb.
The palate has a silky attack with flavours of red currant and cassis black plum with a
clean crisp acidity. It is medium bodied with ripe supple tannins, a lively mid palate, and
a long, elegant finish.

Dark fruited, toasty and baling spices led bouquet. Flavours of dark chocolate and blackberry, roasted plums and some dark clay earthy qualities. Dry, firm, textured and youthful, flavours mirror the bouquet with acidity, tannins and core fruit flavours finding harmony with energy and youthfulness. Best drinking from 2026 through 2030+.

Paritua Stone Paddock Cabernet Franc 2021 is a more approachable glassful right now, with the fruit making more presence felt through the palate, and with a light, delicate balance. There is a root beer, savoury earthiness as well. The fine tannins build and provides structure around which the fruit flavours flow.
