Library Wines

Cabernet Franc, traditionally known for blending in world-class Bordeaux wines, has been in demand as a single varietal in recent years. It is a parent grape to other Bordeaux varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and also Carménère. This grape variety naturally has a higher acidity, and the grape and wood tannins that are extracted during winemaking and barrel maturation give this wine longevity. 

This library wine pack showcases a selection of beautifully cellar-aged Cabernet Franc vintages to enjoy. The soft and smooth tannins in this varietal make it a great choice to enjoy on its own, or it pairs perfectly with a meat and charcuterie board. 

Savour the aromas of ripe red fruit, spice box, and violets in our classic Merlot-predominant, fruit-forward Meritage. Enjoy this smooth and soft, medium-to-full-bodied wine with a long finish.

An elegant Merlot-based Meritage showing loads of berry fruit from raspberries and blueberries, with a touch of clove spice and mocha coming through on the nose. A full-bodied red blend that follows through with berry flavour and some lingering vanilla. A soft and smooth tannin structure on the palate.
