Rosé of Cabernet Franc 2024
Produced by Cana Vineyards & Winery · Middleburg, Virginia
Tasting notes
Extended lees contact develops a complex, full bouquet of white blossom, gentle citrus, white cherry, soft cream, and flaky pastry. Round red fruit rises on the palate with a lift of bright pink pepper. An expansive, palate-filling style with a long finish.
Winemaking notes. Direct-pressed and fermented in French oak puncheon, with no malolactic fermentation. Aged 7 months in French oak and Acacia puncheons, 33% new French, with extended lees contact, then sterile filtered prior to bottling.
Vintage notes. The 2024 harvest was sunny, hot, and dry, producing smaller yields of ripe fruit with well-balanced acidity.
Accolades. Gold, 91 points, 2026 International Women’s Wine Competition.
