Ravine Rosé 2022

Our spur pruned Gamay Noir block in the Four Mile Creek appellation produced really well in 2022. This block has great air-flow and rich alluvial soils and sand which produce incredible fruit. The weather of 2022 was lean but favourable and provided the right heat units needed to develop ripe flavours, along with cool autumn nights that preserved the freshness and acidity. With double berry sorting only the ripest berries made it through, where we then did a quick press of the Gamay. 95% of this wine was then fermented in stainless steel and a small percentage fermented in four French oak barrels. No malo lactic fermentation was done and the wine was fermented to dry. The colour is a beautiful soft pomelo pink (fun fact: the colour was assessed from Le Centre du Roses and our colour is pantone colour J9). The wine starts off fun and lively and finishes with a persistent dry finish. This wine is refreshing and screaming out Summertime! Enjoy this on a patio, on a sunny day, on a rainy day, with a group of friends - it truly is an anytime wine!
