Tasting Notes
This bright, refreshing Rosé was built for warm summer days and good company. Our first 100% Pinot Noir Rosé builds on our house style with a bright and refreshing nose of vibrant strawberry, watermelon, raspberry, and orange peel with lovely notes of honeysuckle and orange blossom. The palate supports the nose with beautiful strawberries & cream. Rich texture is balanced by a mineral and stony core that leads to a surprisingly delicate finish.

Winemaker’s Notes
Harvested on September 25th (Niagara Lakeshore) & October 1st (Four Mile Creek), the grapes were left to soak on skins overnight to extract colour before being gently pressed into stainless steel tanks. The juice was allowed to settle for several days before being racked off gross lees and inoculated. Fermentation was started at a cool temperature to preserve aromatics and fruit. After a portion of the wine (43%) was held in concrete for 3 months in order to build richness & texture on the palate, the 2021 Rosé was bottled in March 2022.
