NV Dark Horse Rosé, Modesto, California

The Dark Horse Rosé is a dry wine that perfectly captures flavors to refresh you. Subtle aromas of vine-ripe strawberry rise from the glass with an underlying hint of grapefruit. Juicy layers of pomegranate and sliced watermelon brighten the palate, leading to a crisp finish of red cherries and juicy freshness. Although fermented dry, there is a fruit-based sweetness with energetic acidity.

Grapes for our Rosé are sourced from select vineyards throughout California. We harvested the fruit for this wine during the cooler evening and morning hours. To achieve intense aromas and an expressive mouthfeel, we fermented the wine at low to moderate temperatures between 55-62⁰ F, carefully selecting aromatic yeast. After fermentation, all lots were aged in stainless steel tanks until bottling to preserve the inherent fruit qualities and natural acidity of the wine.
