Rosé
Central Coast ~ California
Winemaker Notes
To make Layer Cake Rosé, we select grapes from our California vineyards at a high acidity level to get the crispness and touch of fruit we’re looking for. The grapes are left to rest for just long enough for the juice to take on color. When it reaches the perfect hue, we apply cool, gentle fermentation in stainless steel tanks that allow us to get the delicate flavors the from the vineyard to the bottle without losing complexity.
Vineyard Notes
Our Rosé is sourced from the best Pinot Noir growing regions in California in order to achieve delicate flavors in the grapes while maintaining bright acidity which is so crucial to Rosé. All of the vineyards we choose receive cool morning fog from the pacific combined with bright afternoon sun that combine to lengthen ripening and extend hang time, resulting in sophisticated aromatics and vibrant acidity.
Tasting Notes
Layer Cake Rosé is perfectly pale pink and reminiscent of rose gold liquefied in the glass. Aromas of passion fruit, pink grapefruit and dried rose petals mingle with the slightest hint of cranberry. On the palate, tropical flavors of guava and crushed loquat harmonize with field-ripened strawberries, picked fresh for the farmers market. The vibrant acidity is layered with pink grapefruit zest and rhubarb that culminates in a bone dry, refreshing finish.
