Sangiovese Rose

In its food-friendly, easy to drink nature Sangiovese Rosé pairs well with many dishes from fresh summer salads to rich salmon/trout or creamy pasta with prosciutto and asparagus; and for a wow-worthy experience try it with a decadent white chocolate cheesecake.

Moderate weather throughout the season and during harvest time resulted in slow ripening grapes that developed exceptional colour and flavour. This slow & steady harvest allowed for picking of the grapes at their ideal ripening stage. Great for primary aromas and development of berries to produce outstanding quality

Grapes were de-stemmed and lightly crushed to allow juice extraction. A long and delicate press cycle was chosen to allow slow and delicate extraction of colour and juice. Fermentation was in stainless steel tanks at low temperature to enhance aromatic complexity. The wine was kept on its primary fine lees for two weeks after fermentation.
