SOLD OUT Each vintage, R.Stuart & Co. blends a proprietary combination of Pinot noir, Syrah and Pinot gris to create Oregon Big Fire Dry Rosé. Pinot noir brings cherries, Syrah carries plums and Pinot gris brings in those fetching mango and guava…fun, fun, fun!
Make no mistake, this wine is dry and crisp in the finish but it tastes like a bowl full of fruit along the way, really.
Technically? We make the wine by blending fruit as it goes into the press after de-stemming. We allow everything to macerate cold overnight (about 8 hours) and then press ever-so-gently, making sure we do not extract too much tannin from any uninvited rough seeds in our gently de-stemmed fruit. We end up with a delicately colored wine (PINK!) full of vibrancy and relatively high acid. Rob says it makes him think of ‘walking into a cherry and plum orchard in full bloom, sunny morning, dew still on the grass.
A thought surely worthy of a toast, don’t you think? So grab some rosé, raise a glass and let’s drink together to a beautiful day.
