Winemaker Notes
Liquid Farm looked to the regions of Bandol and Provence for the inspiration behind this Rosé. It is a combination of Mourvédre and Grenache sourced from the Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara AVA. The grapes are pressed as soon as they arrive to the winery and are barrel-fermented in neutral oak. Bottled after only 5 months of aging, expect this wine to be crisp, clean, and refreshing. Bright acid, combined with a lower alcohol, makes this the perfect "any occassion" wine and a mainstay in refrigerators across the country!!
Pair with everything except cereal.
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.
On the eastern end of the Santa Ynez Valley, the rolling hills of the tiny Happy Canyon AVA produce top quality reds from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and whites from Sauvignon blanc. The region’s low-nutrient soil grows smaller vines and in turn, higher quality wine grapes.
