Montague Cabernet Franc 2023

5 star halliday rating logo

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

Tasting Notes

  • Aromatics: Redcurrant, raspberry and cherry, with violets, bay leaf and a light dusting of cocoa and spice.
  • Palate: Medium-bodied with vibrant red fruits and a silky texture. Fine tannins build gently through the mid-palate, giving shape and length without drying the mouth out.
  • Finish: Long, savoury and tidy, with lingering red fruit, soft spice and a faint mineral edge.

Viticulture & Winemaking

Region: Margaret River, Western Australia
Varietal: 100% Cabernet Franc

Winemaking style: Crafted to highlight Cabernet Franc’s perfume and freshness, with careful extraction for fine tannin and a restrained oak influence to support the fruit rather than dominate it.

Serving & Cellaring

Serve: 15–17°C
Decant: 30 minutes helps the aromatics lift and the palate soften.
Cellar: Drink now for bright fruit and fragrance, or cellar 5–8 years for extra savoury complexity.

Food Pairing

  • Duck or roast chicken with herbs
  • Lamb koftas or chargrilled lamb cutlets
  • Mushroom pasta or risotto
  • Charcuterie and hard cheeses
  • Roast beetroot, lentils and tahini for a great veg match

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.

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list. A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
