The Rising Yarra Valley Cabernet Franc 2023 is a highly-regarded, medium-bodied red from Victoria's Yarra Valley, known for its wild, savoury elegance with notes of plum, cherry, tomato leaf, and mineral complexity, showcasing lifted aromatics and fine, chalky tannins from old, ungrafted vines. Produced with minimal intervention (unfined/unfiltered), it offers vibrant red fruit, herbal hints, and a stony finish, making it versatile for pairing with mushroom ragu, spicy dishes, or grilled meats, and it's drinking well now with potential for some aging.
