WillaKenzie Estate Willamette Valley Rosé

Direct to press (intentional Rosé); Primarily stainless steel fermented. Floral and fruit driven, this wine is eminently refreshing, with flavors of passion fruit and citrus zest along with a stony finish—a nod to geeky Rosé everywhere. Acidity delivers tension to the palate, which has a hint of power from some neutral wood fermentation. Erik Kramer, winemaker, farms his Rosé to optimize fruit intensity and retain natural acidity. In the vineyard and the cellar, his techniques drive toward aromatic complexity, purity and clarity of fruit, and freshness. A small amount of barrel fermentation is employed to lend textural volume and roundness to underpin the bright vibrancy of the wine.
