NV Rose btl2022 ROSÉ of PINOT NOIR

Tasting Notes:

Deliciously dry, this lively rosé has notes of strawberry, cranberry and raspberry.  Extended skin contact provided the rich color and medium body.  

Winemaking Notes:

Wanting to create a more full-bodied Rosé the fruit was gently destemmed into a small fermenter and allowed to sit on its skins for three days.  After sufficient color development and a touch of tannin building the juice was drained off and transferred to neutral French oak barrels for fermentation.  The skins were lightly pressed off and the press juice also sent to neutral French oak barrels.  Everything was inoculated with a variety of yeasts and allowed to ferment to dry and sulfured.  We racked the wine to tank in January where it was cold stabilized and cross-flow filtered.  The wine was sterile bottled under screw cap in February 2023.

Harvest Notes:

The warm dry winter of 2021 led to an early bud break in some varietals while others were delayed by the cooler spring that followed.  A late frost and June rains led to a lower than average fruit set in the vineyard but when summer really got underway the warm and dry weather produced beautiful, clean fruit.  The heat wave that hit us at the end of June had us on tenterhooks briefly but soon the weather reverted into a more traditional Oregon summer and those fears were allayed.  Late September and early October were perfect, cool and dry, allowing us to choose our own picking dates based on the state of the fruit, not the weather.  We are excited about the balanced fruit that came in as a result and look forward to sharing our wines with you.

Our estate vineyard, Dunn Forest, is LIVE certified sustainable and Salmon Safe. The vineyard is hand cultivated allowing us to respond to individual vine needs.
