Palate
This new bubbly is full of red berry characteristics; strawberry aromas are followed by a refreshing combination of raspberry and strawberry flavors, and an effervescent, crisp, clean finish.
Growing Conditions
The 2023 vintage hit a sizable speed bump on the night of May 18, when a combination of freezing temperatures and lack of wind engulfed much of the region in frost. With the vines already awake and starting to push growth, this led to substantial damage – with yields ultimately coming in around 40% less than average across the farm. The fruit that did reach maturity benefitted from a sunny and dry harvest to produce wines of ripe flavors and balanced acidity. Subsequent wines showcase the warrior spirit of grapes that endured a challenging growing process.
Harvest
following a midnight harvest on Oct. 9, the Cabernet Franc grapes for this carbonated Rose sat on the skins for a 12 hour cold soak before being pressed off.
Bottling
Artificially carbonated and bottled Jan. 23, 2024
