Beskrivelse
Our 2021 Rose has a bright peach color. It shows notes of fresh strawberry, rhubarb, kiwi, guava, and cantaloupe. The delicate palate leads into a crisp acidic and berry sweet finish. The majority of the blend is Tempranillo from Christian’s and Marianne’s Vineyards in the Diamond Mine, with a solid splash of Sauvignon Blanc from Michael’s Vineyard. About 40% of the grapes were cold soaked for a few hours before they were whole-cluster pressed directly into the tank. 20% is “saignee” that was bled away from the Tempranillo grape skins before fermentation. The remaining is “saignee” from a blend of varietals dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon. The blend adds complexity to this delicate wine. The wine was all tank fermented and was filtered before bottling.
Our Rose is terrific as an aperitif on a warm summer day, or paired with shrimp, prosciutto, baked ham, smoked salmon or a fresh salad.
