The vineyard is dry-grown, and with traditionally low rainfall, leads to highly concentrated wines with good acidity. The Cabernet Franc vines were planted in 1997.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe fruit was handpicked in the middle of March, manually sorted, destemmed, and then gently crushed into open-top fermenters. Two days of cold soaking was followed by a 10-day fermentation period. The ferment was hand-plunged three times daily, ensuring a strong level of phenolic extraction. The wine was left on skins for a further six days after which it was basket pressed into 5-year-old French Barriques. The wine aged in oak and on its gross lees for 14 months before its initial racking. The wine was bottled unfiltered, unfined and with minimal sulphites.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JK Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51140988404010,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/7424\/6954\/files\/JarrodKiven159.jpg?v=1778337456","url":"https:\/\/jkwines.com.au\/products\/cabernet-franc-2022","provider":"JK Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
