Rosé 'Love'

The 2022 is mostly Valdiguié and Carignan with Zinfandel, Grenache Noir and Barbera – several new varieties to the Love Rosé blend. 

The grapes were foot stomped, which then remained on the skins and stems for up to 24 hours. All varieties, excluding the Grenache, were gently pressed into stainless steel tank to naturally ferment. The Grenache underwent carbonic maceration before it was pressed, fermented and aged in concrete tank. Sulphur was not added during fermentation and aging. Once fermented to dry, the wine aged on the lees for four months. All were blended at bottling with a small amount of sulphur addition. Each variety brings a unique quality to the wine – acidity from the Valdiguié, spice from the Zinfandel, texture from the Carignan, herbal notes from the Grenache Noir and salinity from the Barbera. Enjoy hints of freshly picked strawberries on the nose and watermelon agua fresca, sea salt and dried thyme on the palate.

FUN FACT : First vintage of Love Rosé that includes carbonic concrete fermentation, which elevates the wine’s freshness.
