2020 Honest John's Rose

TASTING NOTES
Aromas of fresh strawberry, peach blossom, and wild rose take the lead while soft tropical fruit aromas make a quiet entrance. On the palate, delicate ripe flavours of strawberry, cherry, mandarin orange and guava mesh together like the gears of a tractor to balance acidity and round out the finish. Pairs perfectly with a soft swing in a big hammock and a whole lot of sunshine
FIELD REPORT
A mild March sparked an early bud break in 2020. Although the season got an early start, a cool spring and rainy June slowed growth in the vineyards. The summer was very hot and dry leading into a warmer than normal ripening season in September and October. This warm fall weather extended the ripening and balanced the acidity in the grapes resulting in amazing fruit quality and flavour profiles.
