If I were the father of my children I’d be delighted if they presented me with Woolworths Limited Release Cabernet Franc 2007 from Diemersfontein/Raats on Sunday.
This wine is a collaboration between Bruwer Raats, Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc specialist of Raats Family Wines, and the winemakers at Diemersfontein Wines.
The nose is bold with prune, black current, blackberry and even a touch of diesel aromas. The flavours are of nutmeg, white pepper and raspberry which are all beautifully balanced.
This wine pairs well with lamb dishes, poultry, lasagne and pizza. I believe that it is peaking now and drinking at its best.
Amazingly this wine which usually sells for R99.95 at Woolworths retail and online stores, is now on special for R49.95 and for this week only there is an additional 10% discount if you have one of those Woolworths benefit cards. Don’t walk – run and stock up!
I love this wine and rate it 19/20 – an outstanding wine.
