Las Jaras, Waves | Rosé 375 mL Can | 2020 | California
2020 was a challenging vintage due to wildfire smoke. Making rosé is a good way to create wines that alleviate smoke taint risk and ensure that our grape growers can make a living. Las Jaras would normally tread or destem some of the grapes for their rosé to bring up the red fruit character, but the petite sirah contributed so much fruitiness and color that they didn’t need to. All varieties were pressed and fermented separately, naturally. When all of the lots were dry, we assembled the blend and stored the wine cold, without sulfur. This wine was not fined. After filtration, they added 10ppm sulfur prior to canning.
