Assemblage: 37.5% Cabernet Sauvignon (Catherine's Block), 37.5% Cabernet Franc (Rose’s Block) & 25% Syrah (Bridget’s Block). Hand-harvested between September 21 & October 12, 2023 for optimal ripeness & flavor.
Winemaking: Juice from each varietal was gently saignéed, or bled, from de-stemmed fruit prior to maceration for just a hint of color. Fermented in stainless steel
Vintage Notes:The 2023 growing season proved to be one of intensity and compressed timelines. Initially starting with a cooler spring, the vintage swiftly rebounded with unanticipated warmth in May, followed by consistently above-normal temperatures throughout the summer. Despite a delayed bud break occurring the last weekend of April, nearly 3 weeks behind the norm, the season completed with one of the earliest harvests on record, with picking commencing on September 18th, a full 3 weeks ahead of 2022. Despite the abbreviated growing period, the grapes reached the desired ripeness and retained their characteristic acidity through harvest.
Tasting Notes: This exclusive rosé displays both juiciness and flavor, highlighting our vineyard's capability to both ripen fruit and maintain freshness. The enchanting pink hue captivates the eye, setting the stage for a journey of the senses. Vibrant aromas of cherry, red plum, and a subtle touch of mango create an enticing bouquet. On the palate, seductive flavors of guava and white peach combine with a plush mouthfeel. On the finish, a faint whisper of sweetness adds a nuanced layer.
