2013 Estate Pinot Noir | Sta. Rita Hills
This is 100% Melville fruit from our Sta. Rita Hills estate, and is a collection of 16 pinot noir clones. 40% of the fruit was fermented as whole-clusters with 60% gently de-stemmed in small (1.5 ton) open-top fermenters. Total skin and stem contact averaged 30 days (7 day cold soak, 2 + weeks of fermentation and 1+ week extended maceration).
From the press, the wine was transferred directly into neutral barrel (10+ year old French oak), where it remained sur lie without sulfur until June, when it was gently racked for the first time and prepared for bottling in August.
Tasting Notes:
Pale ruby in color, spicy aromatics of ginger, black tea and cinnamon stick emerge initially. On the palate, fresh and lifted nuances of candied orange peel, pomegranate and gardenia mingle with hints of toasted marshmallow and dried cherries. The mouthfeel is focused and vibrant, finishing with excellent clarity and precision.
  • AVA: Sta. Rita Hills
  • 100% Pinot Noir
  • Clones: 667, 777, 828, 113, 114, 115, 459, 943,2A, 9, 16, Pommard, Calera, Mount Eden, Swan & Merry Edwards
  • 40% whole cluster fermented
  • Yield: 3.6 lbs/vine (3.3 tons/acre).
  • Elevage: Aged in neutral barrel (5- 20 year old French oak)
  • Alcohol: 14.0%

30 Days of Rosé | #20 | Shelburne Vineyard | Whimsey Meadow Dry Rosé

30 Days of Rosé | #20 | Shelburne Vineyard | Whimsey Meadow Dry Rosé | 15% ABV | $14.99

After a couple of super exciting projects (new wine cave feature, new tags, and more) our 30 Days of Rosé feature continues!

Today, we are delighted to be featuring Whimsey Meadow Dry Rosé by our local friends at Shelburne Vineyard.

From the bottle:
Each winter we spend many snowy afternoons in the winery reaming of summer and crafting the perfect blend for our Whimsey Meadow Dry Rosé.  The result is a harmonious union of several of our Vermont grown grape varieties.  This rosé is a bright addition to a day well spent, any time of year.

 

From  shelburnevineyard.com:

 

Tasting Comments:
Every year, the bend for our Whimsey Meadow Rosé varies. For the 2016 vintage, we’ve combined along with Marquette, some Petite Pearl and Louise Swenson to create a rosé that is juicy and perfectly satisfying. It has a soft aroma of watermelon and ripe berries while the taste bursts with juicy, fresh red fruits and thirst quenching acidity.

 

Fruit Source:

  • 71% Marquette (Shelburne Vineyard)
  • 21% Petite Pearl (Shelburne Vineyard)
  • 8% Louise Swenson (Shelburne Vineyard)

Food Parings:

  • Sweet and smoky barbecue
  • Grilled salmon
  • Double and triple creme cheeses
  • Strawberry salad with balsamic drizzle
