Martin Ray Rose Of Pinot Noir 2017

WINEMAKING NOTES

Our Rosé is produced by saignée method, in which we pick ripe, flavorful fruit, crush it to a stainless steel tank, and allow 6-8 hours of contact with the skins to achieve optimal color and flavor extraction. We drain the juice to several tanks inoculating some with a specialized Rhone yeast, and others with yeasts to enhance the natural color and fruit character throughout fermentation.

TASTING NOTES

This quaffable wine leads with delicious notes of sun-ripened nectarine, golden raspberry, and honeycomb, while being complemented by a more subtle strawberry, cantaloupe and aromatic orange zest. The body is clean and refreshing with balanced, crisp acidity and a fresh fruit finish.

FOOD & WINE PAIRING

Pairs well with spicy pulled pork with mango chutney or fresh salmon poke.
