Dense, savoury Cabernet Franc with serious character

Lucy M’s Cabernet Franc comes from the Pooks Hill vineyard in Totness, where 35-year-old vines grow on petrified schist. The organically farmed fruit was hand-harvested, fully destemmed and fermented in large open-top wooden vats with one gentle plunge each day. It was then pressed and matured in 300-litre barrels with zero additions.

Intense purple in the glass, the palate is packed with plums and dark fruit, framed by chewy tannins and savoury hints of clove and dried sage. Dense, structured and full of personality, this is a wonderfully distinctive expression of Adelaide Hills Cabernet Franc. Only 100 cases were produced.

Why we love it

Deeply coloured and full of character, with generous dark fruit, savoury herbs and satisfyingly chewy tannins.

About the Wine

"

A shepherd's hut in the Pyrenees, of stone and timber for the transhumance. From the doorway shines iridescent poppy fields, glistening and dancing to the gentle rhythm of the Boha and I feel myself intertwined with the polyphonic melodies. My Patou lies like a polar bear in the meadow flowers and the Manech graze as they have for millennia. Manila by the door, a wooden table with Ossau-Iraty cut with my capucin and the enchantment of a full porró. Tears welling as the smell the red current, raspberry and granite infused in mountain air from the stream of red nectar that runs from the porró to my gullet. I swallow the memories of a tannic life of tradition and smile with red lips and warm heart.

Anton Van Klopper

About the Winemaker
When we think of natural wine in Australia, one of the first names that comes to mind is Anton van Klopper – and for good reason. Operating from a relatively small estate in Basket Range, South Australia, Anton meticulously tends to his 14-hectare organic farm, which is home to four hectares of vines and a hectare of vegetables in Basket Range, plus a leased four hectares nearby in Totness.

Anton crafts wines renowned for their complexity, raw authenticity, and uncompromising character. And that's just how we like them!

Anton approaches winemaking exactly as you'd hope: the antithesis to mass production. His philosophy encompasses every stage of the process - from organic farming and meticulous land stewardship to hand-harvesting fruit, wild yeast fermentation, and zero additives. His commitment to purity extends even to distilling his own alcohol for winery cleaning, eliminating any need for harsh chemicals throughout the entire operation.
