Alto Cirrus Wine Co. Pinot Noir Rosé 2017
Winemaker/Producer: Colin Shirek
Region: Columbia Gorge more specifically the Underwood Mountain Vineyard
Grape: Pinot Noir
Soil: volcanic sandy clay loam
Viticulture: dry farmed
Winemaking: Barrel fermented for 9 months in neutral french oak, unfined unfiltered, bottled with 9g residual sugar, so a little refermentation in bottle has taken place lending to the slight fizz and fun mouthfeel
Aging: 2017 is the current release
Tasting Notes: strawberry shortcake, citrus pith, with a rewarding texture (tasted 1/11/2020)
For Fun: The pinot noir from this site is usually vinified red, but this was the year of the Gorge fire and the reduction in skin contact alleviate the transfer of the smoke to the wine.
