Angels & Cowboys Rose

"Angels & Cowboys Rosé is made with winemaking techniques similar to those in the South of France, the epicenter for Rosé. We harvest grapes at 21 ° brix and a pH below 3.35, this early harvest retains the natural acidity, creating a wine style both racy and ethereal. The grapes were hand-harvested and whole cluster pressed to minimize color extraction and create a wine of unrelenting delicacy.

Once the juice is pressed from the grapes, it undergoes a slow, cool fermentation. Upon completion of fermentation, the Rose is aged on its yeast lees for a little over two months, creating a bit more depth and mouthfeel.

Angels & Cowboys Rosé is classic Oeil de Perdrix. The color is that of a champagne diamond. It has delicate aromas suggesting light mandarin, pomegranate blossoms and wildflowers. On the palate, the wine is lively and racy with flavors of tart cherries and minerals. The A&C Rosé displays vibrant acidity, freshness in the mid-palate, and great delicacy in the finish.This wine is to enjoy with or without food accompaniment.

A Grenache based blend."
