Two years ago, ROSALEA Cabernet Franc from the 2021 vintage made the DiVino Top 50 ranking. Observing the growth and development of the grapes in the summer of 2023 and tasting the ripe grapes before harvesting, we were convinced that this Franc of ours was about to stand out again. We selected a part of plot 7, harvested the grapes on October 1 at a sugar content of 24.2% – tasty and aromatic, with a pronounced character typical of the sort. Chilled overnight and processed early in the morning of October 2nd. The processes include destemming, slight tearing of the grape skins, 48 hours of maceration at 15°C, followed by alcoholic and malolactic fermentations. 60% of the wine has no contact with oak, it was aged in stainless steel vessel. The remaining 40% was aged for 8 months in French oak barrels. After ageing, the wine was homogenized, naturally clarified, delicately filtered and bottled in July 2024.
