Zein Estate 2022 Cabernet Franc named among Australia's Best

We were absolutely thrilled to feature in Young Gun Of Wine's recent deep dive into "Australia's Best Cabernet Franc". 

YGOW gathered eight of the finest palates in wine tasting, sourced Cabernet Francs from all over Australia and set out to find the wines that compelled the most. All wines were tasted blind, each panellist named their top six wines, and our Franc was among the top wines from the tasting!

“This snapped me right back to attention! An effusive and seductive cherry-cola character high-jumps up and out of the glass drawing a broad smile on my face,” proclaimed Khudeira, placing this in his top six wines from the blind tasting. “Immediately I think of how atypical this is, how it’s tempranillo disguised as cabernet franc, then I plunge my nose back in and smile again. It’s sprightly and strewn with red fruit. Tannin is much finer than almost any that precede it. It’s cool and stony and refreshing in the mouth. One of the most – perhaps most – aromatically joyous of the bunch.”

This one isn't avaialble online - yet - so check our stockists page to find a bottle (or a dozen 😊) near you!
