Description

Elouan Rose Oregon 2021

WE BROUGHT TOGETHER FRUIT FROM THREE REGIONS ALONG OREGON’S COAST; WILLAMETTE, UMPQUA AND

ROGUE VALLEYS, WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE FRUIT COMING FROM THE WARMEST OF THE THREE VALLEYS, ROGUE.

THE DIVERSITY OF THESE COOL CLIMATE AREAS COMBINED WITH AN ELONGATED GROWING SEASON CREATES WINE

WITH INTENSITY OF FRUIT FLAVOR, STRUCTURE, AND A FRESH, VIBRANT ACIDITY.

Winemaking Notes:

This is a bespoke Rosé where the grapes are grown and harvested with the specific intention of making a Rosé; not a Saignee Rosé, which is a by-product of making red wine. Straight after harvest, the fruit received a whole cluster light press, skins are discarded, and the juice is then fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain the primary fruit flavors and freshness in the wine.

Please enjoy this wine well chilled. Finished with a screwcap to preserve the crisp, clean aromas and flavors, it is a great choice for outdoor occasions: picnics, lunch on the patio, or enjoyed on its own as an aperitif.

Tasting Notes:

COLOR:  Blush pink with shimmery copper highlights.
AROMAS:  Abundant aromas of strawberry, nectarine, pear, white plum, and sweet raspberry followed by notes of honeysuckle and star anise.
PALATE:  Bright and lively on the palate with flavors of raspberry, strawberry shortcake, nectarine, and stone fruit with subtle notes of jasmine and orange blossom. This wine has vibrant acidity that carries through to a lingering, smooth finish.

Food Pairing:

We think our Rosé pairs well with just about any food! We especially like it served with a strawberry field salad with walnuts, tilapia tacos with crème fresh, cabbage and mango tacos, lobster ravioli with an Alfredo white sauce, or fig jam, arugula, and basil pizza.
