Violets and some tumbling true-to-Cab Franc greenery that’s kept red, in flavour, with wild plums – skins and all! Has all the Lofi jubey feels and can use a little chill to cool down that slow roast lamb you woke up at 7am to prep and put on.

Carto Wines Cabernet Franc 2022

Who says you need people to enjoy red florals, cooling herbs and some earthy spice and who says you need to listen to a label? I actually like to bring delicious bottles like this to social events and then not share any, you might think that’s a little cold and weird – you’re right btw – but the joy the wine gives me makes me more pleasant to be around, and brings out a certain humour and charm.
