Joel Gott Rosé (75cl, 13.6%)

A Provence-style, Grenache-based Central Coast California rosé bottled at 13.6% ABV in a 750ml format. It is a Rhône-inspired blend noted for mineral-driven structure and bright acidity. Joel Gott Wines, headquartered in St. Helena in the Napa Valley, sources fruit from Central Coast vineyards across San Luis Obispo, Monterey and Santa Barbara counties. The blend is 86% Grenache, 7% Cinsault, 5% Counoise and 2% Grenache Blanc, whole-cluster pressed on arrival. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks using reductive winemaking techniques. Fresh strawberry and honeydew melon lead the aroma, with cherry and limeade-like citrus. The palate is juicy and fruit-forward, with ripe red berry flavours, then chalky minerality and medium to full body. The finish has crisp acidity, with lingering citrus pith and mineral.
