Seifried Estate Aotea Cabernet Franc
Description
Seifried Estate Aotea Cabernet Franc is an elegant, food-friendly cool-climate red wine from New Zealand's sun-drenched Nelson region that beautifully combines a distinctive aromatic character with a refined structure. On the nose, this expressive Cabernet Franc shows an enticing bouquet of dark red berry fruits, raspberry, and black cherry, seamlessly layered with fresh herbs, bell pepper, and a savoury complexity from new French oak. The palate is smooth-textured, well-balanced, and highly refined, offering juicy flavours of blueberry, anise, and warm fruit supported by complex liquorice, cracked pepper, fine soft tannins, and a vibrant, fresh acidity. The finish is long, persistent, and satisfying, lingering on notes of spiced berry fruit, tobacco, and gentle spice, making it a perfect pairing for robust dishes like grilled lamb, roast pork, charcuterie, or rich beef stews.
