The elevation of one of the area of the Cabernet Franc block is 220 meters above sea level near the chilly Kolodya ravine, the other land plot is located at the foothill of the Semisam mountain range with thick fogs in the early morning hours that enrich grapevines with moisture. This variety is adapted to low temperatures and needs more time to ripen when grapes are turned into rich black color tinged with blue. It offers medium acidity with flavors of cherry, smoked tomatoes and sweet pepper on the palate.
Label design
The fox is a predator of the canine family however in wild life it has more in common with cats. Both animals have a peak of activity at night as they can see well in darkness and have similar hunting tactics, also they both have a rough tongue and retractable claws. Red foxes are great neighbors for vine growers - they are natural regulators of rodents and insects though they do enjoy eating grapes. Foxes are beautiful and at the same time cunning. A fox on a Cabernet Franc label captures perfectly the character of wine: playful, refined and mischievous.
