When you're loading up on wines for the summer, reaching for a chilled rosé is almost instinctive. What's more refreshing than this after enduring a sweltering day and a stuffy commute? It's like a burst of sunshine in every glass, wonderfully adaptable with various dishes, and it seamlessly melds the best of white and red wines. The beauty of a high-quality, dry rosé lies in its savory, often mineral-like undertones, combined with an invigoratingly crisp acidity. Perfect for cooling down and unwinding!
Winemaking
Grapes are picked from dawn until midday. They are then destemmed and gently crushed at cool
temperatures to prevent oxidation. Following this, both the free-run and pressed juices are moved
to stainless steel vessels. Here, fermentation begins and is meticulously maintained at precise,
controlled temperatures.
