Wolffer Estate Vineyard Finca Wolffer Rose Mendoza 2021 750 ML

Introduction

Shiny light Rose in color. Ripe fruit of pears, baked apple, and fresh hay fill the glass. The mouth-feel is elegant and vibrant with refreshing acidity and is beautifully balanced with wonderful layers of clean fruit. There is a classic flinty minerality and a savory long dry finish. It is an amazingly versatile partner to pair with food. Producer Information Wolffer Estate Vineyard is a producer and winery on New York’s Long Island. It grows a range of grape varieties that are common on Long Island including Merlot, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as the more unusual Trebbiano and Pinot Noir. Wolffer has built a reputation for its ros, which is in high demand during summer. The portfolio consists of several different ross from different blends, in both still and sparkling styles. Christian Wolffer first planted the vineyard in 1988 on a former potato farm. It is one of the few wineries in the Hamptons AVA on Long Island’s South Fork, which is dwarfed in production by its more densely planted neighbor, the North Fork AVA. The 22 hectares (54 acres) of Wolffer vines originally went by the name Sagpond Vineyards until 1997, when the estate winery was completed and the label was rebranded. The Wolffer estate vineyard is hand harvested and the red grapes are de-stemmed and hand-sorted. The winery also produces ciders under the No.139 label and the Noblesse Oblige Mthode Traditionelle sparkling ros from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Most recently, Wolffer has expanded its enterprise into Mallorca, where it is producing Petit Verdot, and Mendoza, growing Malbec. The Mendoza vineyard had been selling grapes to other producers until 2015, when it produced its own ros under the label Finca.
