Product Notes

Chamonix Reserve Cabernet Franc wine, hailing from the prestigious wine region of Franschhoek, South Africa, is a delectable indulgence. The wine showcases a splendid interplay between fruitful berry essence, a hint of mint and delicate spicy undertones. Its dark garnet hue perfectly complements the prominent ripe plum and black fruit flavours, followed by a striking balance of acidity and silky tannins. The wine's full-bodied palate and lengthy finish reflect its maturation in French oak barrels. Yielding a refined complexity, Chamonix Reserve Cabernet Franc is an exquisite choice for those seeking a wine that encapsulates elegance and richness.
