2023 Vin Gris of Pinot Noir Sonoma County
$25.00
- Description
Vineyard Notes
The Spell Rosé is produced from the Saignée (French for “bleed”) of the Pinot Noir. The juice for this wine is removed (“bled”) from each lot of Pinot Noir as it is being destemmed into the fermenter. It is transferred to a stainless steel tank which is maintained at 50 degrees F, to promote a slow, cool fermentation that preserves the fantastic aromatics. Once the primary fermentation has completed (2-4 weeks after the last lot of Pinot Noir is processed) the wine is moved to a selection of neutral French oak and stainless steel barrels for another 6 weeks of aging before bottling.Winemaker Notes
True to the vintage, the wine pours a translucent ruby-hued pink, hinting at the vintage’s playfulness. While it leads with a smell of spring flowers and rose water, in the mouth refreshing acidity arouses the taste buds. Strawberries, cherries, and watermelon crackle on the palate, providing the most perfect accompaniment to all of summer’s bounty.
