Rietvallei JMB Cabernet Franc 2016

Rietvallei Wine Estate, established in 1864, is one of South Africa’s oldest family-owned wine estates and among the first wine farms in the scenic Robertson Wine Valley. Now celebrating 162 years of winemaking heritage, Rietvallei has been shaped by generations of dedication and passion. Storytelling has always been a cherished tradition in the Burger family, a legacy now carried forward by the 6th generation.

Rietvallei JMB Cabernet Franc is a 100% cultivar wine. It is a full-bodied, complex wine with excellent fruit and wood integration. Lots of work in the vineyard and minimal interference in the cellar allows this wine to express its terroir to the fullest.Deep ruby red, almost black in colour. Expressive aromas of black current, plums,pencil shavings and spicy tasted oak on the nose. On the palate, the black current and plum flavours persist, backed and well complimented by the toasty oak flavours from the 26-month new oak aging.
