Cuvée 1844 Cabernet Franc 2023 - Roland und Karin Lenz

“The Frenchwoman” Cabernet Franc usually plays a harmonizing role as a cuvée partner in large Bordeaux wines or as a strong soloist on the Loire. Here in the canton of Zurich, this wine shines as an independent solitaire, whose character is reminiscent of a noble relative from Bordeaux. The complex scent of sour cherries, hibiscus flowers, some licorice and tea leaves come together to create a spicy, fruity composition. From the very first sip, you can feel its elegant fullness and soft, juicy characteristics, which make it a very charming and balanced Cabernet Franc. On the palate, aromas of dark berries, orange zest and a touch of tobacco shine. Combine this wine with cutlets and Mediterranean risotto, lamb fillet, fried “wiedikerli” or just as you like.
