We farm Pinot Noir at Jespersen Ranch and each year we choose a block to harvest early for our Rosé wine. The vineyard is located in the north-western corner of the Edna Valley AVA just four miles from the ocean. In 2021 we hand-harvested the grapes on September 10th at about 20 Brix.
The 2021 vintage has brilliant aromatics of watermelon, candied white peach and rose petal followed by clean, mineral flavors when you take a sip.
After hand-harvesting the grapes, we lightly whole-cluster-pressed about ⅔ of them. Next, we destemmed and foot-treaded the remaining grapes and allowed them to soak for five hours to extract color from the grape skins. A portion of the wine went through malolactic fermentation natively, and we then aged the wine in neutral French Oak barrels before blending, filtering and bottling.
