Kitsch Wines Pinot Noir Rosé 2017
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis organically farmed pinot noir rosé is a blend of two clones (115 and 777) from their very young East Kelowna vineyard, planted in 2014. After a little foot stopping, this was whole cluster pressed, given 15 hours skin contact and an overnight settle before fermentation with Provencal yeast. This was blended with free run juice left from the barrel aged pinot noir, which was wild fermented. The whole spent 50 days on the lees. Juicy watermelon, cherry, herbal strawberries on a creamy, lees-lined palate. A bump of RS works well with the impact of the berry fruit and the fresh acidity. Short and snappy on the finish, this is a likeable, friendly, drink-me-now pink to enjoy this summer.Tasted: 01 June 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
