"
This rosé is a blend of 50% Syrah and 50% Grenache. It is sourced from Paicines Ranch which is located in the Central Coast AVA. A regenerative ranch that not only has a small vineyard that is CCOF-certified organic, but it also is a habitat for a diverse group of animals and food products. This impressive ranch provides grass feed beef, and sheep just to name a few things. The ranch's mission is to regenerate diverse ecosystems from the soil up. It's one of the most exciting new vineyards I am working with and the quality shows even in these young vines!
Vinification: Hand harvested, early to preserve freshness. The grapes were foot tread in the vineyard by the vineyard team and then gently pressed after about 2 hours of maceration for color. The wine was allowed to settle overnight followed by a racking the next day. Native yeast fermentation was conducted in stainless steel. After native malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in stainless for 5 months before bottling. Unfinned and unfiltered expect some sediment.
Flavors of tart strawberries, lemon, and fresh pollen, while being a bit crunchy on the palate. This wine has lots of acidity and juicy fruit.
Pairs well with salads, brunch foods, seafood lends a lot of juicy bright fruit and acidity to any dish!
