Sierra Foothills – Amador – Shenandoah – Ambra Vineyard
Most rosés are made using the “free run” once the grapes are loaded into the press. Saignée means “to bleed.” Traditionally, the Saignée method is used to remove juice to concentrate the red wine being produced and after the grapes have been macerated—in this case, Sangiovese. I took it a step further by extracting the juice from the harvest bins prior to the grapes being crushed or macerated. The result of less time on the skins has resulted in a unique, light, and flavorful rosé. 13.7% ABV, 34 cases produced
