2022 Estate Grenache Rosé
Let a cool glass of the 2022 Sextant Grenache Rosé chill the day. Allow its lucent pink hue and peach blossom aroma to lift your senses and prime your palate. Wild strawberries, juicy plums, and bright kiwis coalesce in the middle. Tinges of dried herbs, tropical guavas, and lemon zest loll at the edges. Ample fruit and lively acidity frame a delectable profile towards a crisp and racy finish.

Winemaker Notes
We take a traditional approach with our rose, hand-picking Grenache Noir right around 20-21 brix, when the acid is still bright and strawberry flavors start to show in the fruit. After a foot stomp while in bins, we let the fruit sit on skins for one hour before loading into the press. This short amount of skin contact before pressing results in the light salmon hue you see in bottle. Fermented in stainless steel at a cool temperature to preserve fruit aromas, then aged for a short few months before being bottled to preserve fresh acidity.
