2022 XR Rosé

The grapes were picked specifically for rose’ production. The fruit was destemmed and then foot stomped to break up the whole berries to start to release some of the colour in the skins. The must was macerated for 90 minutes before basket pressing to a single Tonnellerie Quintessence Pearle oak fermenter for a wild fermentation. After 30 days the wine was racked to a neutral 300L hogshead for 4 months oak maturation. Frequent battonage was carried out to build texture and mouthfeel. The wine was unfined, however lightly filtered.
