2023 Rose – Texas Hill Country

This wine is ripe and refreshing, with notes of nectarine and ripe red plum, and with tropical notes of melon, salted pineapple, and candied strawberry. The palate is a smooth medium body with a salty acidity and lean, dry fruitiness.

Picked early for freshness and acidity. Fermented in stainless steel tank for 34 days. Bottled after 6 months aging in stainless steel. Made from only the delicate free run juice of red grape varieties.

Pair with salty snacks that will pop out the fruit - baked potato chips, popcorn, or popcorn shrimp.
