2007 Rose Di Arie

Winemaker's Notes:

This dry Rose wine was made from a blend of Tempranillo, from the Duarte Vineyards in Georgetown, and from our Estate grown Syrah. After inspection and sorting the grapes were de-stemmed and crushed, cooled with dry ice to 55 degrees F and allowed to cold soak overnight to extract some of the color and flavor from the skins. The next day the must was pressed into a stainless steel tank and cooled to 45 – 50 degrees F to allow the juice to settle. After settling, the juice was transferred to barrels, inoculated and fermented to dryness at controlled temperature of 60 degrees F.

This is a delicious Rose that has structure, complexity and balance common to wines with great pedigree. Expect flavors of grapefruit and apricot with a crisp and clean lingering finish. It is a perfect wine to enjoy solo or paired with cheeses.
