What to Expect

Cabernet Franc, along with Sauvignon Blanc, is a parent of the more famous Cabernet Sauvignon. Quite similar in many ways to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc tends to have higher acid and lighter tannins than its offspring, with fruit in the redder end of the spectrum and a distinctive, aggressive herbal note that can dominate the wine's aromas.

Winemakers Notes

Das Aushängeschild unter den Weinen von Vriesenhof, der Kallista, ist der Klassiker schlecht hin. Eine sehr intensive, vielschichtige Aromatik lässt uns an reife Früchte, feine Gewürze und dezente Ausbauaromen denken. Im Gaumen ist der Wein ausserordentlich komplex. Die äusserst ausgewogene Fruchtsäure verbindet sich mit den saftigen, reifen Gerbstoffen in harmonischer Art. Der Wein hat Schmelz, Kraft und Harmonie - was will man mehr?
