2009 Woodstock Grenache Rosé
Background
Made from 80 year old Grenache bush vines planted on Woodstock Estate, the grapes are hand picked and made to a style we enjoy at Woodstock...deliberately fruity and full of flavour.
Winemaking
The crushed grapes are cold soaked for up to 24 hours to allow good colour and flavour. The skins are then lightly pressed and discarded while the juice ferments slowly until the desired level of natural residual sweetness is reached. The ferment is stopped with chilling and the finished wine is held cold in tanks, then bottled in small runs to ensure freshness.
The Wine
Lots of juicy cherries, ripe strawberries and raspberries on the palate with hints of rosewater and fairy floss. The natural acidity and sweetness in balance, carry these flavours and leave a lingering finish which is clean and crisp.
Serving Suggestion
A confit duck salad with pickled cherries and rocket or just on its own for a perfect lazy afternoon drink!
