About the Wine

While Cabernet Franc can be a challenge to ripen, it thrives in the unique terroir northeastern and elevation of 320-335 m. The combination of the cooler air at altitude and prolonged sun exposure above fog line maximize the ripening period. The longer hang time for the grapes translates into delicious chocolate and raspberry notes in the glass, culminating in a delightfully bright finish. Juicy acidity and notes of barrel spice round out this savory and bright delight.

The owners, and winemaker of Villa Ovcharovo, have a great love for Cabernet Franc was what led to the tireless search of discovering how to produce the best wines from this grape.
