Amulet Rosé 2021

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis year's Amulet rosé blends 50% grenache, 41% syrah (both from Penticton vineyards) and 9% viognier, from Naramata Bench. The grenache was whole cluster, while the syrah was destemmed; both underwent a long, cool ferment in neutral French oak (no MLF) with 2.5 months aging on lees with bâttonage. When it was racked from barrel, the small amount of viognier was blended in, and all was filtered before bottling in February 2022. Tropical and fruit forward, with juicy slick watermelon, candied apple, ripe pear, and ample warming peppery spice and dried sage along a just off-dry palate. Enjoy this riper, fuller style with rich mushroom canapés and / or paté.Tasted: 24 August 2022Tasted by: Prices:
