Santa Rita Hills Rose of Syrah

Santa Rita Hills Rose of Syrah Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: Winemaker Bruce McGuire has found a great section of Syrah in our neighbor’s vineyard for making a fine, off-dry rose. Syrah is a difficult wine to make into a rose, but Bruce found that if he destemmed the hand sorted fruit and let the juice and skins soak overnight followed by a light pressing the next day, the resulting wine showed off a stunning rose’ color. Cool, stainless steel fermentation retains the exotic, perfumed fruit and firm acidity courtesy of the cold climate Santa Rita Hills. This wine is a perfect match with a Mediterranean lunch, seafood, or salads featuring tangy and sweet flavors.
