Averill Creek Joue Rose 2021

Introduction

Not for the faint of heart, a powerful, intense blend, full of bright fruit flavour, balanced with a dried-flower savouriness. This not-so-little number will entice you towards another bite of food, another sip of wine, and repeat. Pinot Noir and Foch were pressed-off, and destemmed whole berry Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris were added to the red juice. A red ferment in essence, but with a cap of white berries. It was punched down about once daily, then pressed off, blended and left in the tank on primary lees until bottling. No yeast, nutrients, enzymes, or sulphites are added, unfiltered and unfined.
