Winter's Hill Rosé of Pinot noir

About our Rosé of Pinot noir

For the past 20 years we have created a classic Rosé using 100% Pinot Noir from our estate vineyards, and this vintage may be the best one yet! After harvesting the fruit by hand, we remove the stems and let the fruit soak overnight to extract the first hint of color from the skins. The next morning, we press it gently and keep the juice cool during a slow and gentle fermentation. Cool fermentation temperatures help to preserve the aromas of the wine, and I think you will agree when you pour the first glass. Fruit harvested October 19-30, 2023. 269 cases produced.

We only make a limited quantity of Rosé each year, and it usually sells out by mid summer.  The best way to assure your supply every year is to join our Rosé Allocation Club.  Members receive 3, 6, or 12 bottles of Rosé when it is released each year in early March.  Shipping is free for members, and you will also be eligible for other benefits such as wine discounts, complimentary shipping, and first notice of special offers and events.  Join Today!

Tasting Notes

2023 vintage Delicate salmon color to go along with the delicate tannins.  With juicy flavors of strawberry, melon, and citrus, this is a wine you can enjoy at any occasion, but it tastes particularly delicious when paired with fresh air and a good friend.

 

2022 vintage  Bright and fresh on the nose with scents of grapefruit, citrus and flowers. The taste is crisp and refreshing with flavors of strawberry, grapefruit, and white pepper.

2021 vintage  “This could be the textbook for great Rosé of Pinot Noir, here sourced from the estate vineyard in the Dundee Hills. Jam-packed with inviting aromas and juicy flavors of pomegranate, raspberry and sweet cherry fruit, it’s perfectly set up with ample acidity and a long clean finish. Barrel fermentation adds nice hints of toast and cinnamon as it trails away. Simply delicious!” Paul Gregutt. PaulGWine.com
