Rosé 2022
Merlot is our flagship varietal and it's very versatile! We wanted to make a Rosé from our top quality fruit, and chose to saignee our tanks to make this wine from the clear juice. Rather than pressing fruit and discarding the skins, we take a little juice off each red tank after it's had time to soak and take on some great colour and flavour, then ferment it dry in a small batch. In 2022, we did our skin soak for 24 hours before taking the juice off the skins.
