WINEMAKING | The Priest Ranch Brut Rosé is 100% Syrah and was aged 24 months in stainless steel on the lees, then bottled and aged an additional 24 months in the bottle. This sparkling wine is made using the traditional méthode Champenoise.
HARVEST NOTES | The beginning of the 2019 growing season was defined by copious rainfall and late soil moisture followed by a warm summer. At the estate, we saw very few extreme heat events and foggy mornings setting the stage for vibrant and expressive wines. The long, relatively mild finish to the season helped to preserve the freshness and finesse in the fruit with sufficient hang time teasing out a great color, structure, and soft tannins.
