Landskroon PDV Cabernet Franc 2022
Landskroon Wine Estate lies on the south-western slopes of Paarl Mountain in the Western Cape, where a long winemaking heritage meets the distinctive character of the Paarl wine region. The estate has been shaped by five generations of winemakers, with the de Villiers family continuing its tradition of producing wines that reflect their origin. The Paul de Villiers (PDV) range celebrates this family heritage. Cabernet Franc is particularly interesting in Paarl, where warm growing conditions help develop ripe fruit, while the surrounding mountain landscape and regional influences contribute to the structure and character of the wines. Landskroon combines established winemaking practices with a focus on expressing each variety clearly. Cabernet Franc is known for its dark berry fruit and distinctive herbal, savoury character, making it an appealing alternative to more familiar Cabernet Sauvignon-based reds.
Colour: Deep ruby red with a youthful garnet hue at the rim.
Nose: Aromas of ripe blackcurrants, dark cherries and plums lead the way, supported by hints of dried herbs, black pepper and subtle earthy notes. With a little time in the glass, the savoury character of Cabernet Franc becomes more apparent.
Palate: Medium-bodied, with generous dark fruit flavours balanced by fresh acidity and fine, approachable tannins. Notes of plum and blackcurrant mingle with gentle spice and an earthy herbal character, giving the wine depth without making it feel heavy. Its structure makes it a versatile red for both relaxed meals and more substantial dishes.
Finish: A lingering finish of dark berries, gentle spice and savoury herbs, with enough freshness to keep the palate inviting.
- Food Pairing : The Landskroon PDV Cabernet Franc 2022 is particularly well suited to dishes where savoury flavours and moderate richness allow its dark fruit and fresh structure to shine. Try it with grilled or braaied lamb chops, roast beef, venison, beef fillet or a mushroom and herb pasta. The wine’s fine tannins work naturally with protein, while its freshness cuts through richer dishes and its earthy, savoury character complements grilled, roasted and herb-driven flavours. A platter of charcuterie and mature cheeses is another particularly good match.
