Hand picked and transported all of 20 metres to the winery. Half of the fruit was destemmed and put into the bottom of an open pot fermenter, the other half was left as whole bunches and put on top. The ferment was wrapped up with lots of CO2 cover for carbonic fermentation. Pressed off to old oak for 10 months maturation before bottling unfined and unfiltered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMild winter led to earlier than usual bud burst which resulted in an early vintage. The season was cool and wet again (just like 20, 21 \u0026amp; 23). The largest dump of rain came in January (180mm) which presented a massive challenge for the vineyard team. Lots of hard work delivered the winery team a beautifully clean and ripe crop. The Cabernet Franc was harvested on the 29th February, a leap year baby!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCabernet Franc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3.76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcidity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4.8 g\/L\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Australia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yarra Valley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cabernet Franc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwcap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.35kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red (Full Bodied)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rising","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51755764482281,"sku":"RISCBF24-1","price":34.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2435\/3999\/files\/Rising_Cabernet_Franc_2023.jpg?v=1739636436","url":"https:\/\/thewineprovidore.com.au\/products\/rising-cabernet-franc-2024-13-750ml","provider":"The Wine Providore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
