The 2020 vintage started as most years do and harvest was anticipated to e a bit earlier than the previous year. Around July we saw temperatures begin to change, which caused ripening process to slow and result in later picking dates, and we ended up harvesting just a few days apart on most varietals from the previous year. We did experience smoke through the season, but with precautions taken at the winery (bucket ferments) were able to avoid its impact entirely.
Tasting notes
Our Rosé of Syrah starts off with a beautiful bouquet of strawberry and rhubarb that heightens the fresh and bright profile of this wine. The acid driven profile and tantalizing texture keeps you interested with every taste. We enjoy having this wine with nearly any food, and it is a perfect sipper on any spring or summer day to refresh and relax…bring a bottle to the beach or to your favorite outdoor excursion!
