Harvest Notes
Our 2010 Rose is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Cabernet Franc, a very different blend when compared to our 2009. The Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested on October 28th, the Malbec was harvested on November 4th and the Cabernet Franc was picked from the same vineyard in Okanagan Falls on October 28th.
Winemaking
The 2010 Rose was made using the Saignee method, the same as for 2009. All lots of fruit were handpicked, sorted whole cluster and whole berry and then sent to the fermenters to cold soak. After roughly 4 to 6 hours the individual tanks were bled off into our white wine tanks. The lots then underwent a relatively cold fermentation. Post ferment, the Rose components were brought together in one tank and underwent cold/heat stability.
