Stirm Wine Co. Wirz Vineyard Old Vine Rose
From the Winery:
The grapes were picked by hand. At the winery the grapes were given 24 hours of whole cluster maceration to extract tannins, aroma, and flavor compounds in the skins, followed by pressing the grapes. No sulfur was added to allow the juice to oxidize. After a 36 hour cold settle in tank, the clean juice was racked off the solids to another tank for spontaneous fermentation. The wine was sulfured post completion of secondary fermentation with elevage in barrels on fine lees. Racked off fine lees a month prior to bottling and blended. This wine is lightly filtered for clarity and unfined. The only addition we ever use is sulfur. Bottled April 16, 2022. 200 cases produced.
