Lodi Winegrape Commission

This Cinsault – or Black Malvoisia Clone 3 – is from Bruella Ranch, an organically farmed vineyard grown by the Spaletta Family in Lodi. The sandy soils along the Mokelumne River drain easily resulting in a bright, refreshing, lighter rosé with notes of strawberry, watermelon, and flowers, while balanced with high acidity. This wine is fermented in neutral French oak barrels using indigenous yeast and aged in said barrels. As usual, the wine is unfined, unfiltered, and produced with minimal sulfur. It is reminiscent of a Provençial rosé, and unexpected from a California wine.
