Wine Details
Price:
$13.00 per bottle
Description:
After crushing the grapes and allowing 24 hours of grape skin contact, a 15% soignée (or bleed) of the Gamay Noir juice was separated and fermented as a white wine. This method has produced a vibrant rosé that combines the amiable characteristics of a Gamay Noir with the refreshing dry aspects of a white wine. Ripe red berry fruit aromas reminiscent of cherries, raspberries and strawberries abound here. Great on the patio or at a party. Served slightly chilled it is also a tasty accompaniment to light vegetarian meals and most fish and chicken dishes.
