To Kalon Vineyard
Cabernet Franc
A wine of pure fruit expression with exceptional depth, our Cabernet Franc is crafted from the heart of the To Kalon Vineyard, one of the finest vineyards in the world. Vines grow slower and provide a full canopy every year, leading to longer hang time and a rounder mouthfeel.
An approachable and pleasing wine, our 2022 To Kalon Cabernet Franc presents a darker fruit profile complemented by notes of roasted coffee beans and chocolate covered cherries. The upfront fruitfulness and concentration are followed by extra freshness on the palate.
Vineyard
First planted in 1868, To Kalon is one of the finest vineyards in the world. Our wines are crafted from the heart of this iconic vineyard where the vines grow slower and provide a full canopy every year. Influenced by the cooler conditions and longer hang time, the harvest is usually around two weeks later than our other vineyards. These wines are celebrated for their extraordinary depth and exquisite character.
