Seven Directions Tractor and Vines Vineyard Pinot Noir Rosé 2017

West Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSeven Directions is doing what no other winery in BC has thought about, in that they are totally focused on one style of wine: rosé. In fact, they are selling a series of single-vineyard rosés sourced from sites across the Okanagan. Tractors and Vines is a one acre, lake-level, ten-year-old vineyard in Summerland. The pinot noir was crushed and cold-soaked for only two hours, leaving a very pale colour. After fermentation, it is held on its lees until bottling. Alluring, enticing, inviting nose of warm wet stones and a palate of wild strawberries, kiwi, mandarin and salt. Love the acidity, brightness and silky textures. So impressive, so right and they aren’t clobbering you with price. Run, rush, hurry, it will be gone soon.Tasted: 01 June 2018Tasted by: Prices:
