Product notes
The 2020 Tinto Rey Rosé is a blend of Matchbook Estate Grown Tempranillo, Tannat and Verdejo. This wine is unique because it was 100% co-fermented, meaning all three varietals were crushed and fermented together for better flavor integration. Our winemakers cold fermented (50°F) the 2020 Rosé in stainless steel tanks to preserve the just-picked fresh fruit flavors. The fermentation was arrested at .5% residual sugar to retain a touch of the natural sweetness of the grapes and add viscosity. A wonderfully crisp and refreshing wine that delivers loads of flavor.

Tasting notes
The delicate peach color and complex flavors of the 2020 Tinto Rey Rosé are the result of 100% co-fermentation of Tempranillo, Tannat and Verdejo. Intense aromas of peach, nectarine and key lime lead to full flavors of strawberry, cream soda, sassafras and tangerine. There is a satisfying weight to the wine that balances the zip of fresh fruit flavors. The crisp, clean finish sets up the palate for another delicious sip.
