WINEMAKER NOTES

Our Estate Rosé traditionally comes from our oldest Pinot noir planting at Bethel Heights, own-rooted Wädenswil vines planted in 1977.   Picked early, whole cluster pressed to avoid extraction of tannin, fermented cool in stainless steel with no malolactic fermentation, and voilà – a bright, refreshing wine that captures the essence of summer, with all the aromatic complexity of Pinot noir but with the lighter body of an elegant aromatic white wine.
