Winemaker Notes
The grapes were picked on the earlier side at 23 Brix for dedicated rosé production and the retention of fresh acidity. After hand harvesting at night, the fruit was pressed immediately to achieve a delicate rosé hue and pure fruit flavors. The juice was cold settled for three days, then racked and fermented in stainless steel. Winemaker Adrian Bolshoi added the yeast at 55 degrees—just warm enough to ensure that the wine would finish dry while retaining bright aromatics. After fermentation, the wine was racked off the lees and cold aged in stainless steel for six months to ensure bright flavors and textural crispness.
