The medium bodied, refreshing palate is filled with tangy red raspberry, strawberry, pomegranate, and citrus peel with notes of sweet melon. The wine has a delicate and satisfying acid structure and a lingering finish. vintage 2023 The 2023 growing season was entirely about patience. A long, wet winter and spring filled our lakes and nourished the soils. With the cooler start to the season, budbreak was several weeks behind average. Once warm, mild weather conditions took over in the late spring and early summer, abundant shoot growth in May and June proceeded. Canopy management was vital to veraison, which occurred in mid to late July. Throughout harvest, mild warm temperatures created perfect conditions for managed picking decisions. The longer hang time allowed the fruit to catch optimum ripening, creating a superb vintage with bright, fresh wines that show varietal flavors and textures. After achieving the desired flavors on the vine, the fruit was harvested in the cool morning hours to preserve the delicate flavor profile. Upon receival in the cellar, the fruit was left on skins for a few hours to achieve the lovely pale pink color and elegant fruit flavors. All fermentation was completed in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to maintain and enhance the natural f lavors. The final blend was completed soon thereafter to capture the youthful aromas and flavors that we see in this Rosé.
