Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
We made this dry rosé by whole-cluster pressing Sangiovese, Graciano and Grenache grapes, then cold-fermenting the clean, lightly colored juice in separate tanks. After fermentation, the three components were blended along with a 2% addition of Graciano (made as a red wine) for color and texture. We then held the wine in stainless steel to preserve its fresh fruit and juicy crispness. This signature Tumbleweed rosé is marked by bright, red Jolly Rancher fruit; a food-friendly acidity and a sleek, silky finish. This is a delicious, complex and balanced wine suited for any occasion!
