About this Item

2016, 2017 Jeff Grier - Villiera - Drip Barrel Cabernet Franc

6 x 750ml bottles, comprising three bottles each of Villiera Drip Barrel Cabernet Franc 2016 and 2017
These wines are 100% Cabernet Franc - Wine of Origin Stellenbosch.

Ripe Cabernet Franc was crushed and destalked, followed by fermentation in a pump-over container to maintain the integrity of the skins. We were only interested in the drip barrels. This is the fermenting wine that drips out of the berries under the weight of the skins after drawing off. It is the heart of the wine. The juice is dark, clear, beautifully balanced and intense. The fermentation and malolactic fermentation completed in French barrels and after 18 months of maturation, it was bottled.

Intensely perfumed, showing some finesse with dark berry fruit and spice with an underlying smokiness. It is ripe with textured tannins and a long finish.

This wine is packed in a wooden box.
