Production Details Flight Farm’s parcel of cabernet franc, now 20 years old, is entering early adulthood with grace. The cool clime it calls home, on the fertile koffieklip outcrop in the southwestern quadrant of Elgin, becomes more impressionable each vintage. A cuvée from the middle two of four picks, fermented with whole clusters and aged in old 500 litre French casks, Flight Farm 2023 is the most expressive yet.

Production Details A quintessential cabernet franc from a cool climate. Flight Farm in Elgin showed promise right from when we first met. It has concentrated flavours of blackberry and plum. The capsicum aroma, with the summery and fleshy fruit profile also has a peppercorny greenness to it. As it has aged, the tannins have become silkier. The inherent coolness from this lovely part of the Overberg shines bright.
