Margerum Vin de Pays Rosé 2010
500 cases produced
The Grenache used in this wine is grown at 550
meters and sourced from geologically complex soils. The grapes are
all handpicked and double sorted, yielding superlative fruit. The
wine is gently pressed and fermented very cold. We make this wine
in a unique way. We saignée (bleed) off a little of the juice from
the Grenache and ferment the slightly pink must just like we do
with the rest of our whites. We then blend back in the RED Grenache
out of a neutral barrel into the rosé wine to give tannin,
complexity and seroiusness. The result is a bright, fresh, crisp,
and refreshing wine that can be enjoyed
year-round.
Doug says: "I have always wanted to make a Rosé
from the fruit grown on the Chêne Bleu property, where I am a
consultant. This past year, I had the opportunity to purchases
Grenache from them and I was able to make 500 cases of one of my
favorite wines. I suggest pairing this wine with grilled seafood,
roasted chicken, and summer salads."
