2008 Rosé
Winemaking Notes
Comprised of five different red grape varieties that were vinified separately, this wine was made using the saignée method – whereby cold-soaked juice was drained from the skins of red wines and then treated as though they were an aromatic white wine. Fermented dry and aged in stainless steel at cool temperatures, this wine was filtered prior to bottling.
