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-field 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, and a hint of cardamon. A very lightly off-dry finish rounds out the rich palette with hints of lime and slate.

Vintage and Production Notes
2024 was an almost perfect year for grape-growing in Massachusetts. The drought and heat that gripped most of the state resulting in the grapevines reaching deep into the ground for water. The intense summer sun and heat induced fantastic flavor development in the grapes. 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.
