Bandurria Cabernet Franc

Bandurria · Curicó Valley, Chile

Vibrant cherry colour, this natural wine appears slightly cloudy because it is not filtered. On the nose, it has lively aromas of black cherry and fresh plum. The palate is fresh and silky with soft tannins and has lush floral flavours with bright raspberry fruits.
