The WineSpark Cabernet Franc Taster 6-pack
Member Price €155.42
Gerd Stepp only makes six barrels of his Cabernet Franc. I managed to secure two of them for you.
And I’ve put together a 6-pack to show you how good this grape can be in the right hands, and in the right places.
In the case you’ll get:
- 2x Stepp Pfalz Cabernet Franc 2023 - Gerd takes two vineyards in Herxheim am Berg and Bad Dürkheim, and drops the yield to build real body and power in the wine. Then he uses all his experience from Tuscany making Chianti Classico - whole-bunch fermentation, hand plunging, open-top tanks - which adds structure and richness. It then spends 20 months in Grand Cru Hospices de Beaune barrels - adding serious luxury and depth
- 2x Mauricio Lorca Mendoza Cabernet Franc 2022 - Mauricio reckons Cab Franc is the next big thing to come out of Argentina - this is exactly the sort of wine that inspired Gerd to make his. A leafy, peppery nose leads to a dark, juicy and structured palate, and it’s oh-so smooth.
- 2x I Filari Toscana Cabernet Franc 2021 - the long growing season and complex soils on the Tuscan coast also suit Cabernet Franc perfectly. Winemaker Federico Cerelli uses every trick in the luxury winemaking book to make this taste sensational. Think inky graphite nose, and a smooth, refined and focussed palate. It’s a Super Tuscan without the Super price tag.
If you fancy six Stepps, or if you’d like to build your own case, you can find these wines on this page.
