Tantalus Rosé Furthur Afield Series 2022
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Further Afield Series gives the winery some flexibility to work outside the confines of its Kelowna Vineyard with what they describe as British Columbia’s most revered varieties. The series began with a rich, full-flavoured 2021 Syrah, and next up is this 2022 Cabernet Franc Rosé. The colour is Provençal pink, the attack juicy with fruit slightly sweeter than the home vineyard, pitching fresh plum and dried wild herbs under strawberries, red apple, and cranberry before a crisp, dry finish. Interestingly the fruit was gently whole bunch pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks with inoculated yeast, while the hard pressings of the juice were fermented wild in older pinot noir barrels. The blend was aged on fine lees for three months before going to bottle.Tasted: 05 May 2023Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $21.75 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
