Philip Shaw Small Batch Cabernet Franc 2022, Philip Shaw Wines, Orange, New South Wales. This vibrant cool-climate Cabernet Franc from the elevated Koomooloo Vineyard seduces with fresh red currant fruit, dark cherries and a cheeky hint of strawberry jam on the nose, laced with lively herbal lift and subtle earthiness. The palate bursts with creamy texture from French oak fermentation, weaving juicy red berries, gravelly savouriness, blackberries, bilberries, juniper and clove for a thrilling, approachable ride that’s dangerously moreish.​

Fine tannins and bright acidity give the Philip Shaw Small Batch Cabernet Franc 2022 its poised, lively structure – a wine that doesn’t take itself too seriously yet reveals layers of fig, sage and sparkling red fruit on the lingering finish, perfect for casual sipping or cellaring with flair.​
