@Delectable Wine this is the 2016 Kale Wines Rutherford Rosé McGah Vineyard
Second vintage of Roses we have tried from Kale, this vintage he is producing two distinct Roses. This one from Rutherford in Napa Valley and the one from the Fountaingrove District in Sonoma County.
Pale peachy pink. Lovely nose and layered with stone and tropical fruits like white peaches, lychees, passion fruit and even a little kiwi. Nose did not stop there, carried on with some white floral undertones too. Medium acidity (6/10), light bodied and well balanced. Crisp and refreshing with strawberries, and some tropical nuances. Slate and minerality in the dry long finish. Drink till 2022.
Made up of 84% Grenache and 16% Mourvedre. The Grenache is gently pressed, with as little skin contact as possible, going through the Diemme bladder press aka the 'sparkling wine program'. Primary fermentation takes place in their Sonoma Cast Stone concrete egg before racking in neutral French oak and again in the concrete egg. Only 280 cases produced.
