This pretty Rosé is an Estate Bottled blend of Tempranillo, Syrah and Malbec grown in our Matchbook Vineyard. Lovely aromas of cherry, lychee and cream soda are followed by juicy flavors of white peaches and watermelon. A lively lemon-lime finish wakes up the palate. This is the wine to share with good friends at a tailgate, a picnic or a casual dinner poolside. Pair with spicy Thai food, an ahi tuna salad, or a fruit and cheese plate.
Blend: 80% Rosé of Tempranillo, 12% Rosé of Syrah, 8% Rosé of Malbec
Production: 505 cases
24 hours after we crushed our Tempranillo grapes, we “bled” a small percentage of the juice off the skins before it had a chance to color up. This juice was then slowly and naturally cold fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. The 2011 fermentation took almost three months to complete, producing a wine with beautiful aromatics and a delicate color. We made a very small amount of rosé from Syrah and Malbec to blend in for added complexity.
