Our Grand Rose is a blend of our best red grapes with a bit of Brianna (white). We have been producing this Rose blend for many years; however, by popular demand, we have in recent years changed to a semi-sweet blend, when it was previously dry. To begin the process, we allow the freshly picked red grapes a short time to soak whole, with their skins on, in a cold steel tank, avoiding fermentation. When the juice turns a beautiful blush pink color, we extract the juice and transfer it directly to oak barrels for fermentation for no more than 8 months. The barrel aging increases the complexity of the wine and allows it to find a nice balance between the fruity grapes and the spicy oak. Then we add natural sweetness and allow the juices to mingle. Finally, we welcome our new fresh and fruity, semi-sweet Rose!
