A remarkable ground-breaking statement of cabernet franc in Australia.

About The Wine
The Le Naturaliste is the latest addition to Bruce Dukes' Flagship range.
A straight varietal Cabernet Franc born from Dukes' finest parcel of fruit from the heart of Margaret River - this is a stunning example of the poetential for this variety when made in a reserve style.
Think of it as Cabernet Sauvignon's sleeker, more elegant cousin. It's gracefully aromatic, and shows exceptional structure for the variety. It's Australian Cabernet Franc in full stride.
