North Canterbury Cabernet Franc

The Black Estate Home wine showcases a beautiful red hue that reflects its elegance and depth. Crafted from the Cabernet Franc grape variety in the North Canterbury region, this wine embodies a harmonious blend of characteristics. It offers a medium body that gracefully envelops the palate, with a balanced acidity that enhances its overall charm. The fruit intensity in this wine is prominent, with rich flavors that linger pleasantly. The tannins are notable yet soft, adding structure without overpowering, and the dryness level is perfectly suited to complement the wine's complex profile.

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
