Production notes

Producing this wine requires a gentle hand and a readiness to press the juice quickly once it reaches the desired level of color. They ferment part of the juice in French oak barrels, a technique which adds enough rich texture and light spice to beautifully complement the generous fruit. To preserve its crisp, clean aromas and flavors, they finished it with a twist-top.

Tasting notes

Pale pink with a copper hue, it has the classic ‘eye of the partridge’ color. Citrus-driven aromas carry through to the palate. On entry, bright acidity and flavors of pink grapefruit and lemon zest enliven the orange creamsicle notes, while hints of dried apricot and sweet spice add complexity. The brightness verges on minerality, but there is so much weight that the richness balances out the firm acidity and carries the flavors of dried fruit.
