Sheldrake Point Dry Rosé is a delightful wine produced by Sheldrake Point Winery, located in the Finger Lakes region of New York. This wine is made from a blend of red grape varieties grown in the winery's estate vineyards, which are situated on the shores of Cayuga Lake. The vineyards benefit from the lake's moderating influence, which helps to create a cool climate ideal for producing high-quality grapes. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and a slow, cool fermentation to preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the fruit. The resulting wine is a refreshing and crisp dry rosé with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and citrus, making it a perfect choice for warm weather sipping or pairing with light summer fare.
