COLLABORATON WINES CERESIA CABERNET FRANC 2024

PURE, FRAGRANT & INTRIGUING BARREL AGED CABERNET FRANC

Lifted aromatics, subtle florals, and fine tannins open into raspberry, black cherries, Black Forest and gentle earthy notes. A delicate iodine–saline thread carries the wine through to a long, refined finish. Poised, balanced, and quietly intriguing, it reveals depth as it unfolds in the glass.

Vintage
2024 was a classic Hawke’s Bay Summer. Exceptionally low yields — with the Cabernet Franc down by 50% — have heightened concentration, resulting in wines that are beautifully approachable in their youth, yet age beautifully.
