Saigne 2020

Saignée, or to bleed, is the method of collecting the inital juice from red grapes immediately after we crush. By utilizing the juice from the same grapes which produce our favorite red wines, fermenting as though it were a white wine - slow and cold - we are creating a bigger, bolder rosé with pronounced bright fruits and florals. The 2020 Saigné is a blend of Dolcetto, Cinsault, Petite Sirah, Mourvedre with an additional 15% Chardonnay, providing a lighter, floral and citrus note.
Aromatics: Deep florals of violet, raspberry and jasmine
On the Palate: Cherry, ripe raspberry, fresh thyme, lavender and roses
