Summary:
Along Massachusett’s South Coast, the cool maritime climate is perfect for the development of floral and citrus fruit flavors in grapes, but our short summers are simply not that great for developing the polyphenolic tannin structure needed for red wines. To showcase the unique terroir of our South Dartmouth Coastal Vineyard we hand harvest our co-grown Pinot Gris and Pinot Not grapes, and then gently crush and press both of these grapes to liberate their pink-colored juice, and the rest is history!
Tasting Notes:
This delightfully complex salmon-pink colored rosé wine explodes with floral aromas of strawberry, white peach, honeysuckle, orange rind, and a hint of cardamon. A lightly sweet finish rounds out the rich palette with hints of lime and slate.

Vintage and Production Notes
The unexpected snap freeze in mid-May nipped the newly emerged buds in our Dartmouth vineyard, resulting in greatly reduced numbers of grape clusters. What grapes emerged loved the dry summer sun and developed amazing flavors. In early October, hand-picked Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir grapes were crushed and immediately pressed to yield a PINK! juice that was fermented unclarified. After sur lies aging in stainless steel for 12 months, a small amount of residual sugar was added to enhance the floral notes.
