Product description
The Mission Gimblett Gravels Reserve Cabernet Franc 2019 is a standout wine from one of New Zealand’s most renowned wine regions, the Gimblett Gravels in Hawke's Bay. This vintage has received considerable praise for its elegance and potential for aging.
Nose: The wine opens with an enticing bouquet of dark red fruits, including blackcurrant and red berries, complemented by floral notes that are characteristic of Cabernet Franc. There are also subtle hints of sweet cedar and spice, thanks to its maturation in French oak barrels.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is robust and well-structured, showcasing concentrated flavours of dark fruit, cassis, and a touch of herbaceousness. The tannins are fine and well-integrated, providing a smooth yet mouthfilling texture. The oak influence adds layers of complexity, with notes of spice and a faint touch of chocolate.
Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, leaving lingering impressions of fruit and a subtle spice that speaks to the wine's aging potential.
This wine is best enjoyed from 2026 onwards, allowing it to fully develop and showcase its depth and complexity. It's an excellent choice for those who appreciate a well-crafted Cabernet Franc with the ability to age gracefully over the next decade
