Wine Style

Our Rosé is dry with a refreshing fruit flavour. A classic summer sipper, our Rosé is one of the region’s best examples of this summer fruit-forward wine. Enjoyable during spring, summer or fall, our Rosé delivers exceptional flavour and great value.

Tasting & Pairing

Reminiscent of Provence, our Rosé is deliciously fresh and creamy with strawberry, rhubarb pie aromas. This delicate wine has a sweet entry but a crisp, dry finish, making the 2012 Rosé a versatile pairing with fresh garden salads or for sipping al fresco on a sunny afternoon.

Winemaking

Die 2012 Rosé is made entirely with Gamay Noir grapes grown at Three Wolves Vineyard on the Mount Boucherie Bench. Harvested in mid October, the grapes were crushed into stainless tanks and soaked for 24 hours on skins allowing the clear juice to draw flavour and colour before pressing and setting. After racking, the juice was warmed and inoculated with vigorous yeast strains and fermented cold to enhance the unique varietal characteristics. This wine is meant to be consumed early while the flavours are crisp and vibrant.

Our Rosé is dry with a refreshing fruit flavour. A classic summer sipper, our Rosé is one of the region’s best examples of this summer fruit-forward wine. Enjoyable during spring, summer or fall, our Rosé delivers exceptional flavour and great value.

Tasting & Pairing

Plump, ripe raspberry, strawberry and red currant aromas tumble together in this deliciously fruity and creamy Rosé. Although technically dry, the fruit ripeness and weight suggest a hint of sweetness which is beautifully balanced with the other components in the wine. A very versatile wine, best served chilled with a refreshing lunch or as a late afternoon wine.

Winemaking

This Rosé is made with 85% Gamay Noir, 10% Pinot Noir and 5% Pinot Gris. Harvested in October, the grapes were crushed and soaked overnight, allowing the clear juice to draw flavour and colour from the darker grape skins before they are separated for cold fermentation. The layers of fruit are enhanced with moderate alcohol and an excellent balance of acidity and residual sugar. This wine is meant to be consumed early while the flavours are crisp and vibrant.
