Description:
Our 2005 dry Rosé was produced using the Saignee method, one of the most traditional European winemaking techniques. After harvest, whole grape clusters were destemmed which gently broke open the skins. Transferred to small bins, the fruit then released free-run juice under its own weight. Approximately 8% of this lightly colored juice was immediately “bled” off into steel tanks to undergo fermentation. Its initial steely character was softened by six months of aging in four year-old, neutral French oak barrels, which imparted a rounder texture. Aromatically, the wine hints at minerals and flowers. Its flavors range from strawberries and dried cherries and finish refreshingly with tangy grapefruit. We find it to be reminiscent of the elegant, salmon-colored Loire Valley rosés, particularly those of Sancerre. Enjoy it chilled, by itself, with your favorite cuisine or as an aperitif. Carignane, Cinsault, Gamay, Mourvedre, Syrah
