Lock & Worth 2025 Cabernet Franc Rose 750ml

SO nice to have this label back in stock after the devastation of the 2023/2024 harvests in BC. Thankfully, 2025 was a generous vintage for the Okanagan / Similkameen, right when they needed it most. The vines were planted in 1995 at the OG Poplar Grove vineyard on the entrance to the Naramata Bench. After destemming, this had 3 hours of skin contact in the press before a stainless ferment and rest with full MLF. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered. Juicy and joyous, with mandarin, apricot blossom, flooding the medium bodied palate, textured and filtered through crushed stones and flake salts to a lingering, silky, saline finish. A welcome return to a great label.
