Rikard Cabernet Franc Merlot Malbec 2022

Our ever-evolving ‘Orange Label’ blend shows the diversity of the Orange wine region across its range of elevations. Dark fruited, structural Malbec combines with the soft, plush elegance of Merlot and the raspberry and chocolate fragrance of Cabernet Franc.

Hand-picked and sorted into small, open fermenters. A long, cool fermentation before maturation in French oak barriques for 15 months. Extended elevage in tank prior to bottling. Unfined and unfiltered.
