Rochford Estate Cabernet Franc 2025
RRP: $33.00
Tasting Notes:
Aromas of red licorice, raspberry seed, dark cherries, roses and plenty of old vine swagger.
The palate is all about the fruits: cherries, dark forest berries, cacao and a real velvety feel. It spreads nicely across the palate and extends with some rocky tannin and fresh acidity. A great vintage for a house favourite!
Winemaking Notes:
Vinification & Elevage: The fruit was fully destemmed as whole berries, with a short cold soak before fermentation and 14 days on skins. The wine was then pressed into French oak barriques for malolactic conversion, where it remained on lees in oak for 10 months.
