Avontuur Legal Eagle Cabernet Franc Reserve 2017
Avontuur Legal Eagle 2017

Avontuur Legal Eagle Cabernet Franc Reserve 2017

R275,00

The second addition of Avontuur’s Premiére Range Cabernet Franc. By naming the wine Legal Eagle, Avontuur honours one of the great racehorses bred at their Estate, a double Horse of the Year recipient. With this Cabernet Franc they celebrate and share in the limelight of their champion Thoroughbred.

Upfront vanilla spice layered with dark cherries and fynbos flowers. Firm tannins and a balanced acidity delivers on the promise from the nose. A black pepper minerality on the finish creates a fascinating wine, which will have you coming
back for more.
