WINE DESCRIPTION
Birichino Vin Gris is a pale rosé wine made from a blend of Grenache, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre grapes sourced from the greater state of California. Whilst the blend may be similar to that of a classic Provençal rosé, the 100+ year old vineyards located in sunny California tend to create a riper and more concentrated fruit profile. The winemaking process involves a very gentle direct press, which separates the skins from the juice creating a pale colored wine. Fermentation is completed to dryness in stainless steel vats at cool temperatures to create a delicate, yet fragrant rosé wine.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Birichino Vin Gris exhibits a beautiful pale pink color, reminiscent of delicate rose petals.The nose is inviting with fresh strawberries, raspberries, and hints of citrus.These vibrant fruit aromas are complemented by subtle floral notes, adding an elegant touch to the overall profile. The palate manages to tread the fine line between remaining characterful whilst retaining delicacy and elegance. It is light-bodied and crisp, with a lively acidity that brings a refreshing zing to every sip.
