This Rosé was made as part of the Red Dirt Red wine family, by taking some of the juice at the distemmer before the grapes were pumped into the red fermenter. However, a good portion of the wine was made by pressing the grapes directly in the press.
“Screw cap. Excellent quality rose. It is fragrant, full bodied, balanced, and long on the finish, tasting of cherry, plum, watermelon, herbs, and white pepper. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre. [2017-2018].”

"This is a vibrant, pale yellow wine which glistens in the sunlight and is the quintessential summertime sipper. The first thought is refreshing after nosing this wine and discovering tropical fruits such as kiwi and casaba melon notes and a touch of linalool and blood orange notes. The palate is completely balanced in its acidity and mid palate allowing a variation of flavors to be revealed: citron lemon, key lime, Pipen apple, fig and Meyer lemon zest. It finishes with honeysuckle, mango, passion fruit and kumquat."

This is the most concentrated vintage of Red Dirt Red we have ever made. It expresses a dark plum, cranberry staining color which comes from low yielding, concentrated grapes.
