2024 Mon Grand Frère – Cabernet Franc

Blackcurrant | Potpourri | Damson Plum |Tomato Leaf | Tobacco

“My big brother” The more opulent counterpart to “Fèrot” my other Cabernet Franc, this wine was made to with intention and precision Sourced from the iconic Ex Virgin Hill block at Glenhope Vineyard planted in 1995 on granite, volcanic, and sandy loam soils, it is a wine that speaks clearly of site, season.

Undergoing wild yeast fermentation, the wine was gently extracted over a long, slow maceration spending 21 days on skins before being pressed to barrel. It was then matured for 13 months in seasoned oak, allowing the wine to evolve with purity

“From Glenhope Vineyard in Macedon Ranges; an ex-Virgin Hills block planted in the 90s. Wild fermented, matured in older oak. Yayoi consistently quality, interesting, delicious wines – a holy trinity as such. Fine, sleek, tightly wound, great texture. Still in a greener vein, but some more purple fruit and cassis today. A little light through the amaro-tinged finish, but feels fine wine paradigm. Recommended” - 93 Points Mike Bennie The Wine Front

“From near 35 year old vines on Moorabool Ridge Estate in Geelong. The wine is produced in stainless steel and set up as a juicy, silky, bright young thing.

Plush, fleshy, bubblegummy, all purple. Dig in. Chill it. Skol. Mulberry and boysenberry with Hubba Bubba dashed with white pepper, sea spray, light aniseed and barely there rosemary herbal inflection. Lighter weight feel in the palate, all juicy and easy flow, a soft landing to finish with a hint of crispness in the lingering flow of pretty fruit and herbiness. Goes great with a chill and likely that’s its best mode. Very appealing, frisky fun.” - Mike Bennie The Winefront
