Certified-organic, biodynamic Cabernet Franc made with whole-bunch carbonic maceration, bottled unfiltered with minimal sulphur; a juicy, crunchy Loire red best served lightly chilled.
Working with whole clusters, David ferments with wild yeasts, employing carbonic maceration for 25 days, followed by a light pressing to preserve the fruit's characteristics. The wines are then bottled without filtration or fining, and virtually no sulphur is added. Serve with a slight chill and will go down all too easily.
