Rochford Estate 'la Droite' Merlot Cabernet Franc 2021

This wine is inspired by the traditional blend of Bordeaux’s ‘Right Bank’ where the predominate variety is Merlot, we celebrate our interpretation of this blend here in the Yarra Valley.
Tasting Notes:
Winemaking Notes:
Vinification & Elevage: Fruit was de-stemmed as whole berries. A short cold soak prior to fermentation and on skins for 14 days. The wine was pressed to seasoned French oak of barriques and a foudre for malolactic conversion on lees and in oak for 10 months.
Viticultural Notes:
2021 was a welcome return to ideal growing conditions here in the Yarra valley. A prolonged, classical season allowed for brilliant definition of flavour across our range.
