Production Details After being destemmed and crushed at Delaire Graff Estate's state-of-the-art gravity-fed winery, grapes were gently pressed to ensure perfect colour and texture. Following settling, fermentation took place, with yeast selected to beautifully complement the unique style and flavours of Cabernet Franc. Left on fine lees with fortnightly stirring to develop palate weight, the final blend included a small portion of barrel-fermented rosé to add extra depth to the flavour profile.
