The 2017 Tinto Rey Rosé is a beautiful rose petal pink color with alluring
aromas of perfume, watermelon and white nectarine that just beg you to take
a sip. Fresh stone fruit flavors on the palate are balanced by crisp acidity. Pleasing flavors of white peach and Rainier cherry lead to a delightfully long finish with just a hint of peach pit.
Winemaker Notes
The 2017 Tinto Rey Rosé is a blend of Matchbook Estate Grown Tempranillo, Tannat and Verdejo. This wine is unique because it was co-fermented, meaning all three varietals were crushed and fermented together for better flavor integration. Our winemakers’ cold fermented (50˚F) the 2017 Rosé in stainless steel tanks to preserve the just-picked fresh fruit flavors. A wonderfully crisp and refreshing wine, and truth be told a new favorite around here.
Pairings
The 2017 Tinto Rey Rosé is great as an aperitif or paired with a cheese platter, grilled vegetables or pasta.
