Beskrivelse
INTRODUCTION
Our rosé comes from two vineyard blocks, farmed and harvested
specifically for this wine. The larger block features the Dijon 115
clone, which is perfect for rosé because it has great natural acidity,
thinner skins and a delicate fruit profile, while the second block
features a field blend of clones, which adds complexity to the wine.
We harvest early in the morning, when the fruit is coldest, and take
it directly to the press to capture fresh fruit characteristics. The
juice is fermented using all native yeast in neutral oak barrels, which
allows for a little bit of oxygen transfer without imparting wood
flavors. A brief three-month aging period on the lees allows for
greater complexity to develop while still preserving freshness.
WINEMAKER NOTES
The 2024 Rosé showcases a beautiful pale pink color, with enticing
aromas of strawberry, lime, cantaloupe and peach. The palate
opens with cranberry and green apple, gradually unfolding into
notes of apricot and grapefruit. Bright and vibrant, the wine also
offers a well-balanced structure, a hint of spice and a refreshing lift
on the finish.
