Product Notes

Garage Wine Co. Las Higueras Cabernet Franc Lot 102 is an exquisite Chilean red wine, bursting with complexity and elegance. Crafted in small batches, it showcases intense dark berry flavours, laced with subtle, earthy undertones of tobacco and spices. Aged in French oak barrels, it delivers a splendidly smooth and rich taste with an impressive finish. The appealing balance of acidity and soft tannins makes it a perfect match for hearty meat dishes. While it is enjoyable now, Lot 102's sturdy structure suggests it will develop further complexity with age. A true masterpiece of craftsmanship and class.

Tasting Notes

Rare bush-head vine Cabernet Franc, shows classic herbal aromas and a leafy, spicy personality with notes of graphite, cut grass (tomato leaf) backed up by fine, well integrated tannins and proper supporting acidity. Lighter in colour with surprising density and layers.
