Our friends at Heringer Vineyards in Clarksburg sold us Pinot Gris that came in with a ton of color, so we went for it and skin fermented for 8 days before pressing. This left us with a powerful Pinot Gris. Our friend, Tom Gore, recently planted a Grenache Vineyard in Mendocino County specifically for Rosé. He crops this site for max tonnage so the wines are leaner with almost no color post press. This year is a 50% blend of each. Super yummy......\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest Date 8\/17 \u0026amp; 9\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003eBottling Date February 4th, 2023\u003cbr\u003eCases produced 1086\u003cbr\u003eTA 6.1 g\/L\u003cbr\u003epH 3.33\u003cbr\u003eTrue Alc 12.2%\u003cbr\u003eLabel Alc 12.8% (Had to print labels before the wine was made LOL)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Nitty Gritty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Rosé is all your poolside hopes and dreams. Bright watermelon and strawberry acidity rolls off the palate while tart cranberry crudo pops in the mouth. Some crazy rhubarb savory-ness and iron like minerality join the dance party as well. It's like nibbling on organic fruit leathers and biting into that fleshy part of a pineapple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Nerd Stuff\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePinot Gris was destemmed and fermented on skin and pressed off on the 8th day. Post press we finished the fermentation in stainless steel. This wine was racked once off of its gross lees and returned for aging in tank. For the Grenache, we whole cluster pressed, let settle for 2 days then transferred to 60 gallon barrel and 520 gallon eggs. Blending began in January where the best fit blend was 50% Pinot Gris and 50% Grenache.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rootdown Wine Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53393968005393,"sku":"HG2486","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8755\/8673\/files\/2022EsOkayRose.png?v=1762983572","url":"https:\/\/alchemyofthespirit.co\/products\/rootdown-es-okay-rose-2022-750-ml","provider":"Alchemy of the Spirit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
