2021 Borachio Cabernet Franc

WINEMAKER: Alicia Basa & Mark Warner
REGION: Blewitt Springs, SA
VARIETAL: Cabernet Franc
VITICULTURE: Organic

Our friend Lisanne (Boaz, Sonshine, De Sonnettes), pre-COVID worked with Lulu’s Cab Franc, since then we have been fortunate enough to slide in and make some wine from it. Old vines on sand with one of the best vistas in Blewitt Springs. 100% carbonic for 2 weeks, keeping things feather weight, whilst enhancing all that beguiling blue fruit Franc holds. Finishes with a bees dick of Franc-y rusticity that dissipates in time, whilst retaining strong varietal character.

'Borachio - a skin for holding wine, commonly a goat's, or a drunkard.' Previously working with James Erskine at Jauma, Alicia and Mark make wine in Carey Gully with fruit sourced from organically farmed vineyards in Mount Compass and Mount Torrens.
