WINE MAKING
The 2021 Winemaker’s Blend Rosé is a blend of 66.1% Pinot Noir, 18.2% Pinot Meunier, 14.2% Gamay Noir, and 1.5% Riesling. The Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir grapes were hand-picked and whole bunch pressed to ensure minimal colour and tannin extraction from the skins, the Gamay Noir was machine-picked and given a short period of skin contact time to develop the desired amount of colour and flavour. All varieties were fermented in stainless steel tanks to ensure aromatics remained fresh and fruit-forward.
FLAVOUR PROFILE
A delicate coral pink colour with a fresh aroma of sweet cherry, watermelon, white peach, and summer flowers. A light-bodied, dry Rosé with a smooth yet refreshing mouthfeel, and fruit flavours of Rainier cherry, melon, and red berry, which also linger through on the finish.
