Picked specifically to make the Rose wine (hence “intentional”), the Cabernet Franc grapes were pressed right off the skins (henct direct-press), as a white wine would be vinified. The juice was then fermented in oak barrels aged in four barrels, two of which were new. 

Fermenting and Aging in oak mitigates the high level of pyrazines (green notes – think bell pepper), especially in Cabernet Franc grapes that are pulled off the vines earlier for their vibrancy.

To enhance the body, mouthfeel, and structure, the wine was stirred on the lees, creating a steak-worthy rose wine suitable even for red wine enthusiasts. This rose has every intention of making your summer memorable.
