2022 ROSÉ OF GRENACHE
WINEMAKING
The grapes were hand-harvested, carefully destemmed, crushed and pumped into a tank for overnight contact on the skins to obtain the desired levels of color and flavor extraction. This was achieved overnight and then the must was gently pressed and most (75%) of it was transferred to an egg-shaped tank for fermentation while a small portion (25%) was fermented in a twice-used French oak barrel. Fermentation took place over 2 weeks at 60-65˚F. After primary fermentation was completed, malolactic fermentation was inhibited and the wine was left to rest for 4 months. The wine was then racked off of the fermentation lees, cold stabilized, sterile filtered and bottled on March 30, 2023.
VINEYARD
Cederquist Vineyard was originally planted in the 1890s and has been under the guidance of the Cederquist family since their acquisition of the property in 1904. The original Grenache plantings of just under 2 acres were planted with 8’x10’ spacing. In the 1940s the vineyard was expanded to its current size of 12 acres with additional plantings of Grenache on 8’x12’ spacing. This wine comes from the original 1890s plantings.
