Montague Estate

Montague Cabernet Franc 2023

Perfumed ~ Red fruit lift ~ savoury finish

Montague Estate Cabernet Franc 2023 is for people who love reds with fragrance, freshness and detail. Cabernet Franc has a naturally lifted personality, and in Margaret River it can show bright red fruits, dried herbs and that gentle, savoury edge that makes it so food-friendly. The Montague style tends to keep things elegant and medium-bodied, letting perfume and fruit do the talking, with oak used as quiet support rather than the headline.

Expect a wine that opens with floral aromatics and jubey red fruits, then shifts into more complex notes like cocoa, bay leaf and a faint mineral, oyster shell-like character. The palate is all about flow and shape: vibrant fruit, fine tannins, and a long, tidy finish that stays savoury and moreish rather than heavy.

If you have been enjoying Cabernet Sauvignon and want something a little more aromatic and supple, Cabernet Franc is a brilliant next step.

Why You Will Love It

A fragrant, perfumed Margaret River red that feels fresh and stylish
Red berry and jubey fruit character with a savoury, herbal lift
Medium-bodied and food-friendly, not a heavy red
Fine-grained tannins and neatly judged oak for a smooth, long finish
A great alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon when you want more perfume and less weight

FAQ 🧐

What does Cabernet Franc taste like compared to Cabernet Sauvignon?
Cabernet Franc is usually more aromatic and red-fruited, with florals and herbs, and it often feels lighter on its feet. Cabernet Sauvignon tends to be darker, more structured and more overtly tannic.

Is it a “big” red?
No. This is best thought of as medium-bodied, perfumed and food-friendly.
