Syrah Rose

Syrah Rose Wine Details
Price: $10.00 per bottle

Description: This rose was birthed out of Rancho Arroyo Grande's appreciation for a beautiful, dry rose. This wine is perfect to enjoy on a warm afternoon at the ranch. This wine is predominantly Syrah, lending to its fragrant nose of plum blossoms, raspberries, and red currants. The Grenache adds some strawberry and loganberry notes. The Mourvedre adds some structure and texture. Rancho’s Syrah Rose was fermented in stainless tanks to preserve the fruit.

Varietal Definition
Syrah:
Syrah is the eight hundred pound gorilla of Rhone grapes! In the vineyard and the winery, Syrah is typically an easy grape to work with - healthy, early ripening, resistant to mildew and rot; suitable for winemaking in a variety of styles. The wines from Syrah are tannic without being harsh. The wines will have a taste and smell of dark blue fruit like blackberries and blackcurrant, with a strong spicy side where one can find freshly ground pepper and other spices. Syrah is famous for its part in the French blends, such as Côtes du Rhone and Châteauneuf du Pape.
