VINTAGE:
The 2010 harvest brought excellent quality fruit, although yields were significantly reduced due to extreme winds early in the growing season. Cooler than usual weather interspersed with the typical heat spikes leading up to harvest caused the grapes to retain high natural acidity, allowing for full phenolic ripeness at lower sugar levels than normal. The resulting wines display a fresh character, with bright acidity and lower alcohol levels.
Pairings:
Dry Rosé goes well with most seafoods, salmon and ham (especially a pleasant off-set to the salt in smoked salmon and ham).
Try Thai food as well.
