The bottle you open for one glass and somehow finish with friends. Fresh, vibrant and wonderfully expressive. A Cabernet Franc that trades heaviness for energy, delivering bright fruit, savoury detail and effortless drinkability.
Made by Yayoi Wines, this Cabernet Franc showcases a lighter, more contemporary interpretation of the variety. Juicy red fruit, floral aromatics and subtle herbal complexity come together in a wine that feels lively, fresh and full of personality.
Medium-bodied with fine tannins and natural brightness, it's a bottle that comfortably bridges the gap between serious wine and pure enjoyment.
Elegant enough for the table, relaxed enough for a weeknight.
Why We Chose It
At Álavôt, we're always looking for wines that surprise people.
Cabernet Franc often sits quietly in the shadows of Cabernet Sauvignon, but bottles like this remind us why the variety deserves attention in its own right.
Bright, aromatic and endlessly drinkable.
