Bruno Dubois Rococo Saumur-Champigny 2020

Domaine de la Cotelleraie Saint-Nicholas-de-Bourgueil Les Montils 2020

Grown in vineyards on the left bank of the Vienne River in the A.O.C. Chinon, the 35-year-old Cabernet Franc vines face north in clay-limestone soils. Slow, cold fermentation reveals the elegant tannins and fresh aromas of this straight, crisp and generous fruit wine. Loire Valley fans rejoice!

Charles Joguet Les Charmes Chinon Rouge 2018

Frankland Estate Cabernet Franc 2021

A richer expression for Cabernet Franc lovers that dances along the line of playful and serious. Dark, silky cassis is balanced with lighter notes of wheatgrass and a splash of salinity in this deliciously rich wine.

Jauma Birdsey Cabernet Franc 2021

Tart redcurrant, a hint of green capsicum and savoury whole bunch spice with gentle, well-integrated tannins.

Municipal Cabernet Franc 2018

From a single-vineyard on the left bank of the Vienne River in Sazilly, the clay-calcareous soils lay the perfect foundation for the purity of Cab Franc to shine through with a real sense of place. Aromatic and superbly textural, this will stay on your guests minds and leave them wanting more.

Charles Joguet Les Varennes du Grand Clos Chinon Rouge 2018

Some carbo feel in the mix. A palate of plums, some peppery herbal notes and a hint of choc berry built around quite firm, grippy tannins.

Leko Cabernet Franc 2021

A fresh and juicy wine with lots of tart red fruits, dried herbs and a nice savoury finish. Yummmmmo!

Combes De Rouge 2020

A distinctly lighter and more savoury style of Cabernet Franc. A lovely core of red fruits, some dried herbs, and a lively juicy finish.

St Leonards Cabernet Franc 2021

Cabernet Franc - famously grown in France, but a variety that also absolutely thrives in North-Eastern Italy! Herbaceous with red currants, fresh fruits, red berries, & flinty tannins. Pure & delightful.

Vigneti Le Monde Cabernet Franc 2018

A nose of ripe, dark fruit thanks to the warmer growing conditions, gives notes of blackcurrant, cassis, violets, cherry, cocoa and some lovely Cabernet ‘leafiness’. A wonderful purity of fruit defines the palate with flavours of plum, raspberry, chocolate and hints of fresh mint. Super fine tannins give beautiful texture and length.

Mt Mary Quintet 2019

Before becoming vignerons themselves, Agnès and René Mosse had owned a small wine bar/retail shop in Tours - one of the gateway cities to the famed Loire Valley. During this time they developed strong relations with local winemakers - most notably Jo Pithon and François Chidaine, who the couple credit as being the inspiration for deciding to produce wine themselves. Having adhered to organic viticultural principles since the very start of their winemaking endeavour, Agnès and René are strong proponents of minimal intervention winemaking. All their wines are barrel-fermented and aged, using only neutral oak, and minimal sulphur is used. Whilst René is now retired (Agnès still works), the couple's sons, Sylvestre and Joseph, have since taken the reins of the family estate. Domaine Mosse's Cabernet Franc uses grapes that lie within the Anjou Rouge appellation, though the family have chosen to free themselves from the limitations of the appellation system, instead declassifying most of their wines as Vin de France. It's a silky, elegant wine, which was macerated as two separate portions: 80% traditional destemmed maceration, and 20% carbonic maceration. Ripe blueberry, white pepper, wet leaf and tilled earth framed by a veil of velvety tannins.

Domaine Mosse Cabernet Franc 2019

We’re thrilled to add another new Claus Preisinger wine to our portfolio (and glasses). This wine is flooded with aromatics and energy, coming from a blend of new planted red varieties—Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Blaufränkisch. The wine underwent a short co-fermentation of grapes, followed by time spent ageing in amphora. No sulphites were added. Sip away at layers of ripe dark berries and herbal notes.

Claus Preisinger Fruitloops Red 2020

Light and chirpy red with juicy moreish acidity. Bright red fruit, crunchy fresh with some peppery spice, red apple and a hit of sap. Subtle raspberry is lean not tart, and lends itself well to being chilled. Only two barrels made so get in quick.
