Lokaia Call of The Void Amphora Cabernet Franc 2022
About the Wine
In an effort to capture the purity and bright red fruit of Cabernet Franc, these grapes were harvested at a potential alcohol of just 10%. Each grape was meticulously sorted before being fermented and matured on the skins in a small amphora for four months. A true and pure expression of Cabernet Franc, spontaneously fermented with wild yeasts and void of any influence from oak. A natural, unfined, unfiltered wine that may produce small amounts of tartrates in the bottle over time.
Incandescent purple in colour. The nose displays rose-like perfume before cranberry through black cherry and crushed herbs. The palate is light rather than lean or angular – pure and focused with lipsmacking acidity and super-fine tannins. Enchanting in its subtlety.
