Shypoke Rosé of Charbono 2020

Description

Charbono is special. It is a dying heirloom varietal that is slowly finding new life. Originally hailing from the Savoie and a favorite planting in the Napa Valley in its earliest days, Shypoke has its own Charbono vineyards that have been on their Calistoga Ranch since 1904. A singular expression of the varietal in Rosé form, it is fuller bodied and well balanced with pomegranate and darker red fruits such as cherry expressing themselves in the wine. In a wine world filled with walls of pink, this Rosé stands on its own in style as well as varietal expression.

The rare Napa Valley ‘fruit to bottle’ rosé…. Grown at our heritage vineyardin Calistoga, Napa Valley, our Rosé of Charbono is the result of a fruit thinning pass at ~50% veraison. Whole cluster pressed to extract the minimal amount of color and protect the delicate aromatics of the resulting wine.

Soft rose petals meet the eye. Alpine strawberries and white watermelon gofor broke aromatically. delightfully dry and crisp wine of the pink persuasion.

Delicate with compelling balance. Lifted fruit, while detailing restraint.
