Description
The grapes for our Pinot Noir come from several vineyards in the southern Okanagan. The Pinot Noir grapes were cold soaked for 3 days and fermented on the skins for 7 days. The wine then spent 9 months ageing in 1-year-old French oak barrels.
A bright ruby red colour with a bouquet of cherry, wild strawberry, red licorice, delicate spice and a whiff of smoke. This gentle, loving Rooster has a light to medium frame with pure fruit flavours of red berry, red currant, cherry and crabapple. The food-friendly acidity brings excitement and the soft tannins assist in building structure. Fresh juicy red berries linger on the finish.
Pair with rigatoni and spicy sausage tomato sauce; mushroom lasagna; Portobello mushroom on tomato basil fettuccine; veal cutlets; duck breast salad; gourmet vegetarian pizzas with tomato, mushroom and roasted red pepper; La Sauvagine cheese with water crackers; cedar plank salmon.
