2022 Floral Terranes Cabernet Franc Red Wine – Rich & Smooth

Floral Terranes 2022 Cabernet Franc

A Handcrafted Rarity from Long Island
Crafted by Floral Terranes in Long Island’s vibrant viticultural landscape, this 2022 Cabernet Franc is a masterclass in balance and terroir-driven elegance. With only 300 liters produced—a true artisanal gem—this wine offers a refreshing departure from traditional reds. Designed for those who cherish complexity without heaviness, its crisp profile makes it perfect for casual sipping or sophisticated pairings.

Light & Lively: A Red Wine Reimagined
This Cabernet Franc defies expectations with its remarkably low alcohol content (clocking in at 11.5%, despite the label’s 12% notation). Achieved through a meticulous blend of direct pressing (50%) and gentle maceration (the other half), this wine delivers a luminous freshness reminiscent of Loire Valley gamays or Savoie’s aligoté whites. Expect a burst of tart red berries—think cranberry and raspberry—infused with mineral undertones that evoke Long Island’s maritime soils.

Spice & Structure: The Signature of Cabernet Franc
While its early impressions lean toward white-wine-like clarity, this wine reveals its varietal depth on the finish: a subtle wave of peppery spice and earthy complexity that signals its Cabernet Franc heritage. This contrast makes it versatile across seasons—crisp enough for spring salads yet structured enough to complement grilled meats or charcuterie boards.

Pairing Potential & Availability
Whether enjoyed solo or paired with goat cheese-stuffed mushrooms or herb-crusted salmon, this wine shines as a bridge between bold flavors and delicate textures. Due to its limited production and sought-after style, availability may vary—stock up while you can!
