Tasting Notes
A rosé that balances jolly rancher strawberry with grounding minerality that keeps the candied nature nicely restrained. Opulent red fruit, a squeeze of a lemon rind, and melon mingle on the palate, burst through with laser beam acidity that folds into a medium body and herb finish.
Winemaking
Fermented in concrete for 21 days. Aged in concrete for 7 months.
Food Pairing
Pair with flavorful dishes - pasta salad, corn salsa, and a hearty tuna Niçoise salad.
