Cool! Bruwer has been kind enough over the years to share some of these little details. It is definitely one of the most important clones for the grape worldwide.
Lovely video and wine. Good Cab Franc can be so enjoyable and memorable. I love it when the winemaker focuses on the grape and not the secondary. Partial carbonic is a wonderful way to showcase the fruit. Looks like I need to go shopping, I don’t have a big enough cellar 🤣🤣. Thank you!
Hi Carl! Thank you, as always, for your thoughtful comment. Sorry for the delayed reply. I must've missed the notification for this. This is a terrific wine, and I believe available in NY. A benchmark for the variety in Stellenbosch, and South Africa as a whole. As for your cellar, maybe it's time for some offsite storage! 🤣 Thank you as always for watching, and for your kind support! 🙏
There is a growing number of hugely quality focussed producers in Stellenbosch (Mulderbosch, Zorgvliet, Morgenster, Taaibosch, & VanLoggerenberg) as well as some stars from both warmer regions like Paarl (Ridgeback Estate) and cooler regions like Sondagskloof (Hermanuspietersfontein Wines). and Elgin (Vrede & Lust).
This is awesome! Love these recommendations. The task is trying to track the wines down, which is easier said than done. BUT, this just means I need to visit, sooner rather than later! Thank you again for these recommendations. I am compiling a list for a future visit! 🤩
@@handrinkssolowineclub That's kind of you! I'm Canadian, living in Ontario, which makes things even more challenging from a wine procurement perspective. But, I do have a retail partner in Buffalo, New York that helps me source wines that are distributed in the US.
@@cabfrancchronicles Ha ha...I listened to your accent for a bit...thought there was a chance you were Canadian, but couldn't be sure! Apologies for that faux pas ;-)
@@handrinkssolowineclub Haha, it's all good! The Canadian vs American accent is a little tougher to discern, kinda like the Australian vs a New Zealander accent, for example. So, Canadians are used to the mix up and we take it in stride! 😉
Lovely work Allison! Thank you!
🙏 Thank you, my friend!
Cool bit of intel about clone 214! I didn’t know that about RAATS. Thank you 🙏

@@cabfrancchronicles no worries at all. 😁

@@cabfrancchronicles I'll do some digging and see what I can find out about your neck of the woods. What state are you in?
