Joel Gott Grenache Rose 2020 |
o make a Provence-style Rose, we sourced fruit from the Monterey, Santa Barbara and Paso Robles appellations. Grenache makes up the larger part of this blend coming from the marine-influenced Monterey and Santa Barbara areas, both part of the Central Coast AVA. In Monterey, late afternoon winds, similar to the strong Mistral winds that travel through Southeast France, and sandy soil help to control the growth and vigor of the grapevines, which allows for longer hang time and produces more balanced fruit. Fruit from vineyards close to the coast in Santa Barbara experience cool, foggy mornings and warmer afternoons, bringing out ripe fruit flavors in the grapes. We blended in a small amount of Cinsault and Counoise from the warmer Westside of the Paso Robles appellation for added depth and a touch of spice.
