Produced by Pierro in Margaret River, Western Australia, this wine brings together Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a little touch of Cabernet Franc. The name LTCF refers to that “little touch” of Cabernet Franc, a component used to add fragrance, lift and delicacy to the blend. Pierro crafted this vintage with the aim of producing a full-bodied red wine that would be delicious while young, while still carrying enough backbone to mature and develop in bottle. Cabernet Sauvignon contributes structure, length and age-worthy depth, while Merlot adds richness, softness and rounded fruit expression. The Cabernet Franc component brings aromatic brightness and a finer, more perfumed edge to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe 2022 vintage reflects the clarity and balance associated with Margaret River Cabernet blends, offering ripe dark fruit character with freshness and poise. The style is generous yet composed, with the fruit supported by savoury detail and a refined tannin frame. It is well suited to roast meats, lamb, duck, rich pasta dishes and full-flavoured cheeses. With its combination of immediate drinkability and underlying structure, it is a versatile red that can be enjoyed now or cellared over the medium term. Pierro’s reputation for precision, high-density vineyard plantings and hands-on viticulture adds further pedigree to this Margaret River blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Fragrant and polished\u003cbr\u003eCassis, plum, mulberry, violet, dried herbs and subtle spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Medium to full bodied and finely balanced\u003cbr\u003eBlackcurrant, dark berries, soft Merlot richness, savoury Cabernet structure and gentle oak detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Refined and persistent\u003cbr\u003eLingering dark fruit, fine tannins, fresh acidity and delicate Cabernet Franc lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStyle – Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc\u003cbr\u003eCountry – Australia\u003cbr\u003eRegion – Western Australia, Margaret River\u003cbr\u003eVintage – 2022\u003cbr\u003eBottle Size – 750ml\u003cbr\u003eABV – 14%\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pierro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43984231268439,"sku":"PIER-LTCF-22","price":50.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/679e870a-f8fe-4ff1-b367-7b943be51e9c.webp?v=1782446333","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.co.nz\/products\/pierro-ltcf-cabernet-sauvignon-merlot-2022","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
