Le Vieux Pin Vaïla Rosé 2016

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaDistinct smoked herbs and meadow grass leads off this pinot noir rosé, with grapes sourced from various vineyards across the Okanagan. Direct press method, this was macerated on the skins (22 hours) before fermentation and aging in stainless to preserve the bright, crunchy acidity. Rhubarb, pink grapefruit, smoked stones fill this bone dry, structured, medium bodied and adult rosé. The finish is awash with the smoked herbs that led us off.Tasted: 23 May 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
