Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Our Rosé 2023 is deep in both color and flavor. Reminiscent of Rosé from Tavel, France, ours is a blend of 82% Barbera and 18% Blaufränkisch–both known for their dark skins. Red berries on the nose sharpen to expressive strawberry, rhubarb, and pomegranate arils on the palate. A crack of black pepper, chalky minerality, moderate acidity, and a supple mouthfeel make this a great dry wine for pairing heavier faire. Your summer barbeque wine.
Vineyard Notes
The 2023 vintage started off with a hard freeze in May, resulting in widespread shoot damage across the Finger Lakes. Fortunately, most of the region was able to bounce back later in the summer. Disease pressure was alleviated by a dry September, making for a smooth first half of harvest. October had some rain during the first few weeks but finished with cool and sunny days. From a wine chemistry perspective, the 2023 vintage is more typical of a "classic" Finger Lakes vintage-- with both red and white wines showing well. The tannin and color in the red wines are somewhere in the middle of the road-- not as intense as 2022, but much more substantial than 2021. The white wines have slightly elevated acidity and will age quite well.
