Sam Miranda Rosata 2016
The WineSalmon pink in colour this years Rosato is a blend of Sangiovese, Nebbiolo and Dolcetto. With all varieties offering a subtle hint of its presence. Subtle fruit flavours are enhanced by the silky smooth texture of the palate. The wine lingers and finishes with crisp natural acidity. More delicate in style than our 2015 release, this style is a great companion to conversation, food and friends.
Serve chilled or over ice!
Winemaking
The fruit was machine harvested in the night and left in the bins for 24 hours. The must was allowed to just start to naturally ferment on the skins and then the clear juice was sucked out via a screen with no maceration of the skins. The juice completed fermentation over the next 6 weeks at a chilly 10 c and the finished wine was lightly fined and then bottled in October
Viticulture
