Chambourcin and Traminette were picked early and co-fermented. The Chambourcin was added whole cluster while the Traminette was destemmed. The fruit was foot treaded on the skins for 7 days, pressed, fermented to dryness, and blended with Riesling. The result is an amply floral and aromatic Rosé with more weight and substance than a typical provincial style. The wine was made with minimal intervention, being unfiltered and unfined, and only receiving a small dose of sulfur for protection at bottling.
