2021 Estate Pinot Noir Rosé

VINEYARD NOTES

On February 3, 2010, Demeter USA, the only certification agent for Biodynamic® farms in the United States, certified the 17-acre estate vineyard and garden at DeLoach Vineyards, fully compliant with their standards for Demeter Biodynamic status. DeLoach is among an elite group of sustainable wine grape growers committed to farming in parallel with the Earths natural cycles.

WINEMAKER NOTES

The Pinot Noir grapes were harvested from the estate between August 24 - 29. Made in a deliberate Rosé style: the grapes were hand-picked, sorted and destemmed for overnight juice-skin contact. It was pressed with juice fermenting in neutral oak barrels and aged sur lie. As the skins contain most of the tannins, the structure of this Rosé has less of a tannic mouthfeel than a typical saignée style
Rosé.

TASTING NOTES

A lovely blush in color, this 2021 Rosé opens with notes of strawberry, orange blossom, and white peach. The palate offers red fruit flavors of raspberry, watermelon and rhubarb highlighted with a touch of delicate kiwi. The finish is refreshing and crisp.
