Ramblin' Rose 2018

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRamblin’ Rosé is an Okanagan Crush Pad special release for Save-on-Foods. It’s a fun fruity affair with texture and mouthfeel thanks to a fermentation and ageing process in concrete. The juice is mostly pinot noir that was saignée from various tanks at the winery, from a variety of vineyards across the Okanagan. Not all the fruit is organic, so it’s not certified, but the ferments are all native and the ethos is natural with minimal inputs and stabilization, hence its light cloudy character. Finally, the ferment terminated naturally with six grams of residual sugar. The final blend included some viognier and gewürztraminer and the wine ended up with 10 grams of residual sugar, just enough to give it a fruity finish. This is the perfect bottle for spicy tuna sushi. The more you buy the cheaper it gets at Save-on-Foods, so stock up.Tasted: 19 May 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
