Production Details The 2022 vintage benefited from ideal growing conditions, allowing the Cabernet Franc to develop its characteristic complexity and structure. The fruit comes from carefully selected vineyard blocks on the estate. All fruit was destemmed and fermented naturally with daily pump-overs until fermentation stopped. Aged in barrel for 14 months; 30% new oak.
