Lovane Cabernet Franc Iliwa 2006 - Flagship Wine

LovanE – Cabernet Franc Iliwa 2008   Flagship Wine

TASTING NOTES

Only 344 bottles produced.

A light bodied, easy drinking wine that surprised us with beautiful flavours of gooseberries, plum, nutmeg and minerals – named after the Xhosa word Iliwa, meaning “Rock”.

IN THE VINEYARD

Only 500 Cabernet Franc vines were planted in some rocky terroir.

THE HARVEST

Our Cabernet Franc normally carries a light crop, which concentrates the caracteristics of the variety.

IN THE CELLAR

The wine was matured in French oak for 33 months.
