Let’s Talk Rosé!

Rosé wines are defined by their color and their simplicity, elegance, and freshness. The production of rosés is delicate and requires controlled winemaking from harvest through bottling. Pre-fermentation steps are crucial to build wine potential as well as the control of oxidations all along the process such as limiting transfer, using inert gas, using anti-oxidant and anti-oxidasic agents while working with the appropriate equipment.
