Buttery Chardonnay, fine silky Pinot Noir, peppery-raspberry Cabernet Franc. Also sweet Vidal Blanc hybrids, Catawba, Concord.
The word of the wine: Rosé de saignée
A method of making rosé wine that consists of partially draining a vat of red wine after a few hours of maceration. The longer the maceration, the stronger the colour. This practice gives rich and expressive rosés.
