Fogolar Wines 2018 Oppenlaender Vineyard Cabernet Franc

$36.95

This single-vineyard Cabernet Franc showcases the unique terroir of the Oppenlander Vineyard, situated in Niagara-on-the-Lake’s Four Mile Creek sub-appellation. An elegant nose of cherry compote, toast, and a hint of elderflower. Smooth with fine tannins on the palate and a gentle, flavourful finish.

Winemaking Notes:

Fruit from the Oppenlaender vineyard was machine picked and optical sorted before being whole fermented berry for 28 days, then pressed. Aged in used French oak for 24 months before being filtered and bottled.

Food Pairing:

Lorem ipsum dolorem sit amet sic luceat lux

Remember that pyrazine characteristic? The pyrazines that give the Cabernet Franc its herby and peppery earthiness make it a perfect wine choice for pairing with vegetable-based dishes like a roasted or grilled eggplant dish, tomatoes stuffed with basil, and Brussels sprouts gratin. The earthiness and herb-like taste of the Cabernet Franc will accentuate and bring out the flavours of those vegetables. You might even choose a Cab Franc for meals that aren’t entirely vegetarian but still serve it whenever you want to accentuate the taste and flavour of the roasted or grilled vegetable dishes you’ve included.
