Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
We made this dry rosé by whole-cluster pressing Graciano, Tannat, Sangiovese and
Grenache grapes; then cold-fermenting the clean, lightly colored juice in separate tanks.
After fermentation, the four components were blended and held in stainless steel to
preserve the wine’s fresh fruit and juicy crispness. This signature Tumbleweed rosé is
marked by bright-red Jolly Rancher fruit, a food-friendly acidity and a sleek, silky finish.
This is a delicious, complex and balanced wine suited for any occasion!
