Ros Wine by Bravium from Central Coast, California. Santa Lucia Highlands is notable for its cooling fog and the afternoon breezes that sweep from Monterey Bay across the vineyards. Soil is Arroyo Seco Sandy Loam. This wine is produced from some of the most renowned vineyards in the appellation, including Rosella's Vineyard, which is owned and farmed by Gary and Rosella Franscioni. The growing season here is one of the longest in California, allowing for full flavor development on the vine. In the winery, whole cluster Pinot Noir was gently pressed upon arrival at the winery. Fermentation in a combination of neutral oak vessels and stainless steel fermenters was followed by gravity racking to tank. The 2015 Bravium Santa Lucia Highlands Rose of Pinot Noir possesses a classic pink salmon color and very bright berry, tree fruit, and yeast-derived aromatic notes. Fresh and lively fruit flavors include peach pie with a creamy texture. This smooth and lightly textured wine is precise and persistent on the mid-palate and is balanced by crisp acidity and a clean, pleasing finish.
