The
Back Label:
This wine marks 10 years
of making Rosé Paradiso—a decade of rich, complex,
dry, barrel-fermented, barrel-aged pink succulence. We base this on the Sangiovese grape and blend in bits of most every variety we
grow, resulting in loads of flavors and complex aromas.
Enjoy it chilled for
warm summer days or au natural on those cooler days with a winter feast of ham
or turkey cooked over a wood fire. Smoked salmon, grilled pork, roast chicken,
potato salad, and corn on the cob are some of our other favored companions.
More
information from the winegrower:
Our first Rosé, 10
vintages ago, was a salvage effort. Can we make something good from this
Cabernet Sauvignon caught by an early frost? We can always dump it if it’s
crap.
Well, it turned out
great! It was our start down this road of barrel-fermented DRY Rosé.
Now we do it for
passion, not necessity.
We drink as much Rosé as anything else. It is a match for so many favorite
foods:
·
Salmon
burgers
·
Roast turkey
(we grow our own)
·
Ham (ditto)
·
Mac-n-cheese,
daddy style
·
Smoked
salmon salad
·
Tuna
sandwich
·
Potato salad
·
Roast
chicken
·
Baked potato
with broccoli
·
Corn on the
cob
Now we start
with three barrels of Sangiovese Rosé and one barrel
that has five gallons (or more) of everything else—Zinfandel, Cabernet
Sauvignon, Malbec, Temprańillo,
Petite Sirah—it’s the “Rosé Melange”
barrel.
It all
spends 10-12 months in barrels that are at least 8 years old, most are now 20.
