Adore Rose 2015
Adore is a blend of Pinot Noir and Grenache grapes, specially chosen to make a Rosé style wine of the style of the great Rosé producers in the south of France.
The color is a medium pink rose due to the short contact time that the fermenting wine has with its grape skins. *Adore* shows a wonderful cranberry aroma followed on the palate by a burst of strawberry and a well structured finish.
*Adore* is a blend of Pinot Noir and Grenache grapes, specially chosen to make a Rosé style wine. The color of a wine is extracted from the grape skins during fermentation. Like the top Rosé producers in the south of France, we prefer to ferment red grapes for *Adore* as we would a prized white wine. Here the grapes are whole cluster pressed directly into a ferment tank, avoiding skin maceration and produced as a delicate pink wine.
11 months in neutral French oak Burgundy barrels.
