The Shiraz Cabernet Franc blend, one of Jacques' early releases from The Islander Estate, upholds a legacy of excellence. This Bordeaux-style blend exudes elegance, featuring notes of vanilla, plums, violets, capsicum, and spice on the nose, accompanied by subtle hints of French oak. On the palate, experience a soft texture with a medium body, showcasing blackberry and sarsaparilla notes, along with oak nuances like vanilla and coconut. The finish is well-structured with natural acidity and sweet tannins.

This wine perfectly complements classic French dishes such as medium-rare steak with duck fat potatoes or aged hard cheese.

Situated on Bark Hut Road, Kangaroo Island, The Islander Estate Vineyards holds historical significance as one of the initial sites for Soldier Settler camps. These camps housed returning servicemen and their families, who played a crucial role in shaping Kangaroo Island into the agricultural hub it is today.
