The 2020 Rosé displays a bouquet of summer orchard fruit ranging from tangerine to peach accented by aromatic floral notes of violet and rose petal. On the palate the racy acidity delivers a focused savory herb element and minerality, along with delicate watermelon, raspberry, and Rainier Cherry fruit.
Food Pairing – Fresh and quaffable, this Rosé possesses a thirst-quenching fruitiness and dry finish that call for pairing with charcuterie platters, oysters, or a simple bowl of fresh strawberries.
Our vines are harvested in the early morning hours when the fruit is at its coolest temperature and berries are firm, to resist juicing during transport to the winery. We load the fruit direct to press with no de-stemming or crushing and allow a few short minutes of skin contact time before initiating the press cycle, a process which minimizes color extraction from our prized Grenache grapes and creates a wine of delicacy and refinement. Once pressed away from its skins the juice is transferred to stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Post-fermentation, the must is left “sur lie” for several weeks. This imparts soft, creamy notes to the wine to balance vibrant acidity while contributing depth and mouthfeel.
