Blue Grouse Rosé 2024

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaA new look label and a new direction for this 2024 Rosé, which blends 63% pinot noir, 15% pinot gris, 12% gamay, and 10% chardonnay from a mix of estate and neighbouring vineyards. Winemaker Stacy Hornemann ferments each variety separately in a mix of stainless, neutral French oak, and concrete, with partial malolactic fermentation. Juicy and super bright, at a skinny 11%, the citrus aromas and flavours light up the palate with what Treve nails as a 'strawberry yogurt' undercurrent. Taut, dry, and ready for shellfish.
