2021 PINOT NOIR ROSE
Elizabeth's Vineyard

Dry Rose Table Wine
81 Cases Produced
Grape: 100% Pinot Noir
Alcohol: 9.9%
Total sulfite addition: 50 ppm
Crushed and destemmed
1 day on skins
French oak barrels (4-6 years) for 11 months
Unfined and Unfiltered
Farming: Conventional/sustainable
Vineyard: Seneca Lake, west facing, steep slope
Soil: Shallow silt loam over fractured shale

Note: Cherry, chalk and cedar with silky acid, red fruit, light wood tannin and a wash of shale.

Elevage: Grapes were crushed and destemmed into a one ton bin to macerate for 24 hours before pressing. Settled juice was moved to old French oak barrels where fermentation, including full malolactic, continued until August of 2022. In September 2023 the wine was racked and bottled without fining or filtration.

Miscellaneous: A barrel fermented and aged rose of pinot noir that is very low-alcohol, dry and savory. Drink cool but not cold with grilled anything. Sadly, this is the last bottling of Elizabeth's pinot for a while as there was none available in '22 or '23. We hope to be getting fruit again this year or the next and everything, every single thing, will just go back to normal.



Tilled up "soil" during some new planting at Elizabeth's Vineyard.
