Cuvar is the new label for Sir George Fistonich, formerly of Villa Maria Wines. Pale orangey pink, this is plummy with savoury earth and biscuit notes, plus a hint of violets and strawberry. It has good concentration with a rounded juiciness; easy to enjoy on its own, its palate weight suggests it will also hold up nicely with summer salads. Made from 100% Cabernet Franc.
