- TASTING NOTE: Lovely seamless entry - intense, fine, delicate with a real sense of movement across the palate. Herbal savouriness, sweet wood notes and tart red plum beneath an air of inner florals. Very confident and affable - not pushy or pretentious. Really rather elegant. Wayfinder
- ABOUT THE WINE: Our two small blocks of Cabernet Franc were harvested in late March and sorted into a single stainless-steel tank for fermentation. The must underwent a 3-day cold soak to extract colour and supple tannin from the skins, and then gently warmed prior to inoculation. The must was pumped over twice per day during peak fermentation, with a single rack and return to break up the cap and promote extraction. After a total of 13 days on skins, the free-run was gravity-drained to tank and barrelled down to 35% new French oak (Taransaud). The barrels inoculated for malolactic fermentation and kept warm until dry. After 10 months’ maturation in oak, the final blend was assembled in tank and lightly filtered prior to bottling. Wayfinder

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: At Wayfinder, our ethos is grounded in regeneration of the land and of the connection between people, product, and place. We believe great wines begin in living soils and are shaped with intentional decisions every step of the way. We farm in harmony with nature to produce wines of clarity, structure, and restraint. From native bushland restoration and biodiverse farming to gentle handling in the winery and thoughtful hospitality, everything we do reflects our commitment to long-term care for the land and those who enjoy its offerings. Our wines are single-vineyard, hand-picked, and defined by energy, texture, and poise. They are as much a reflection of their place as they are of the values behind them.
