Details and technical informations about Winery Skinner's Rosé.
Discover the grape variety: Counoise
Supple and fresh reds with a clear ruby colour, melted tannins and preserved acidity despite the sun, on aromas of strawberry, raspberry, red cherry, white pepper, garrigue and spiced notes. Airy and thirst-quenching palate. A traditional component of Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC (one of the 13 authorised varieties), it brings freshness, finesse and aromatic complexity to southern blends of Côtes-du-Rhône and Languedoc. Native Rhône variety, very late-ripening.

The wine region of El Dorado
High-altitude AVA in the Sierra Foothills east of Sacramento (California): signature dominant Zinfandel as king red — full, vivid reds with concentrated dark fruit, spice and fleshy tannins. Also Italian Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and structuring Petite Sirah. Strong Rhône tradition with Viognier, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache. Cooling by altitude rather than fog, sunny ripeness with preserved acidity, eclectic identity of the modern Gold Rush.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Bâtonnage
A very old technique that has come back into fashion in modern oenology, which consists of shaking the white wine in the barrels at the end of fermentation, or after fermentation, with a stick or a flail, in order to suspend the fine lees composed of yeasts at the end of their activity. This process is sometimes used for red wines.
