Nose
Our Rosé shows intense aromas of dried strawberry, tangerine and rhubarb. In between the expressive fruit you will find smokiness and noticeable hints of cured meat and dried herbs. You will be surprised by intriguing notes of honeysuckle, raspberry and perfume, along with a distinct note of wet stone complementing the bouquet.
Palate
There is an abundance of red berry fruit in the mid-palate, with subtle hints of citrus flavors in the finish.
Growing Conditions
Our Rosé was crafted from 100% Syrah. Our Block 7 at Double River Vineyard continues to produce distinctive and powerful, yet elegant Rosés with tons of character.
Harvest
Balanced fruit was hand-picked early in the season at cool temperatures to showcase the beautiful and pronounced fruit flavors of this varietal.
Winemaking
We allowed only the minimum amount of skin contact to ensure for a light and more desired color in our Rosé. The cool fruit was gently pressed and carefully transferred to stainless steel tanks and fermented slowly at low temperatures. About 25% was transferred to stainless steel barrels for malolactic fermentation and was stirred once a week for 3 months. These barrels added depth, com-plexity and finesse to the wine
Food Pairing
A wonderful pairing with your favorite tapas, charcuterie, roasted beet salad with goat cheese, grilled wild salmon and seafood stew!
