Nose
This dry rosé greets you with enticing aromas of freshly picked strawberries, watermelon and lychee framed by
a stunning bouquet of honeysuckle and rose petals
Palate
Its vibrancy and mouthfeel are in perfect balance, creating a
delicate summer wine with beautiful complexity.
Growing Conditions
The 2017 growing season has seen a series of dramatic changes starting with 180% of the average annual rainfall
and some hail in February to one of the best fruit sets in years. We experienced weeks of cool, foggy mornings
in the summer alongside record high temperatures towards the end of August. By October 8, when the wine
country wildfires started, all the fruit for this beautiful rosé was already harvested and fermenting in the cave.
Winemaking
Whole cluster pressed, our fruit was fermented in 2-ton stainless steel tanks. The lees was stirred daily for the
first couple of weeks to increase mouthfeel perception and the fermentation culminated in hand selected neutral
barrels.
