Winemaker Notes

The nose is bright with aromas of fresh strawberries and juicy white peaches. On the palate, the wine is dry and bursts with citrus, stone fruits and ripe strawberries, finishing with a crisp, mouth watering citrus flavor.

Pair this crisp rosé with light summer foods like goat cheese, gouda, fresh vegetables, and seafood (for example, shrimp cocktail, oysters, or steamed clams).

Blend: 92.5% Barbera, 7.5% Moscato

Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.
