Cuvar
Iris Merlot Cabernet Franc 2024 750ml
Merlot 81%, Cabernet Franc 13%, Malbec 3%, Cab Sav 3%
The varieties were hand-picked, de-stemmed into vessels and fermented separately. Gentle pump overs at varying times during the fermentation cycle extracted the ripe firm tannins. Natural yeast was used on 30% of the wine with added yeast on the remainder. Once the fermentation had completed the wines were pressed off to French barriques for a 10-month duration where they underwent natural malolactic fermentation.
92 Points James Suckling - Aromas of currants, perfume and lavender follow through to a medium body with creamy tannins and a juicy finish. Really delicious now.
16 Jancis Robinson :Fragrant, lightly leafy, finely textured. Harmonious, well priced, juicy within the tannic structure.

4.5 Stars Michael Cooper
The Merlot sets up the palate’s ripeness and structure while the Cabernet Franc compliments with sweet dried basil notes.
