Diemersfontein's Thokozani Cabernet Franc: A Red of Distinction

From the renowned Diemersfontein estate, the Thokozani Cabernet Franc Red is an award-winning wine (Grand Cru medal at the National Wine Challenge) that embodies the spirit of the Thokozani empowerment project. This is a serious, cellar-worthy red that delivers on both power and finesse.

Sommelier's Tasting Overview

Matured for 16 months in French oak, this 100% Cabernet Franc offers tremendous complexity and structure, with an ageing potential of up to a decade.

• Visual: A deep, vibrant ruby hue.
• Aroma: Rich dark fruit-cassis and plum-with a delicate, herbaceous complexity that signals classic Cabernet Franc character.
• Mouthfeel: Round, full, and luxurious. The tannins are firm but beautifully polished, ensuring a long, elegant mouthfeel.
• Aftertaste: A lingering, satisfying finish with sophisticated hints of liquorice and fennel leaf.

Food Matching & Serving

This wine demands hearty, rich dishes. Decant for an hour to fully appreciate its depth, and serve slightly below room temperature.

• Food Pairing: Traditional Steak and Kidney Pie, Sunday Roast Beef with Yorkshire Puddings, or venison casserole.
• Cheese: Mature Cheddar, or a strong Stilton.
