Vin Gris Glenrose Reserve 2006 -- Adelaida Shopping Cart
$30.00
This small lot Vin Gris is made from free run juice (created from the weight of the harvested
grapes in the fermenters) pulled during the first 24 hours of fermentation. The saignee
(French for “bleeding”) process increases the intensity of the wine left behind by increasing
the grapes’ skin to juice ratio. The Reserve Vin Gris is made from two varieties (57%
Grenache and 43% Syrah) that were co-fermented to integrate flavors and achieve fruity
complexity.
The Glenrose Vineyard, the source for many of our finest Rhône style wines, is located
between Peachy Canyon Road and Kyler Canyon Road on Paso Robles’ Westside, some
miles from the Pacific Ocean. The plantings (from clones brought directly from the Southern
Rhône in 1990) are situated in a difficult, rocky outcropping of calcareous limestone rock.
The vineyard resembles an Egyptian or Aztec pyramid, and some 30% of the steep terrain
terraced (literally cut into the limestone rockface). This austere environment produces wines
of unique clarity and minerality.
A convincing “Vin de Plaisir”, this heady, ripe Rosé is full of fresh wild strawberry aromatics
and rich juicy and warming flavors. Best served well chilled to focus its bright, savory
personality, this serious Rosé is the perfect accompaniment to your Spring/Summer BBQ.
