Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
We made this bone-dry rosé by whole-cluster pressing Barbera grapes and cold-fermenting the clean, lightly colored juice. This signature Tumbleweed rosé is marked by bright red fruit, a food-friendly crispness and a silky finish.

Production Notes
Pressed whole-cluster. Juice then settled 48 hours, racked, and inoculated with specially selected yeasts (Rhone2056). Fermented in stainless steel at 55 F for 26 days. Malolactic fermentation inhibited.
