Rosso Classico

Price at the winery/online: $12 (taxes included) 

ORDER

Rosso Classico is a medium-bodied wine made of a field-blend of four different grape varieties. The 2008 vintage provides a delicate complexity of berry fruits, cloves and nutmeg. With a short stay in new American oak barrels the wine lingers in the mouth offering flavours of spices and just a hint of black pepper.

Winemaker's Notes

Field-blending is one of my favourite methods of winemaking because I can envision the wine while walking through the vineyard. Selected from an older section of our vineyard, the 2008 Rosso Classico offers a fruit forward palate that pushes flavours of black fruit and warm spices on the finish.
