Gran Moraine Yamhill-Carlton Rosé of Pinot Noir

This dry Rosé is purposely crafted from 100% whole cluster pressed Pinot Noir, hand-selected from our estate vineyards in Yamhill Carlton. The clones (828 & 777) were selected for their acidity, bright fruit characteristics and skins that extract very little color. The fruit was harvested at optimum ripeness and the berries were gently pressed, cold settled and fermented in flex tanks with selected yeast strains to enhance the unique aromatics and flavors. This barely pink wine offers aromas of rose petal, pineapple juice, tangerine and starfruit. The wine enters the palette with notes of Marcona almond and Chinese gooseberry. Cleansing bright acidity with hints of sponge cake lead to a long-lasting finish.
