2024 PORTAGE ROSÉ

Visually, this wine shows a light and translucent, copper-peach colour. This is due to the wine’s time on skins. Half of the wine spent no time on skins at all, while the other half was a result of the Saignée technique. This is when juice is removed from red wine tanks before fermentation starts. In this case, after 3-hours of skin contact. The nose is showing a slightly minty characteristic … think fresh nettle. Grapefruit and other citrus, coupled with stone fruit. On the palate this wine shows apricot, lime, grapefruit, and hints of pomelo.  It’s made from 100% Pinot Noir fruit, because that’s how the cool kids like to make it.
