Martha Stoumen Post Flirtation Rose

Watermelon agua fresca and red clay on the nose. Lemon curd, acacia, and prickly pear on the palate, and a precise dry finish. Absolutely refreshing alone but also a great food rosé.

The Wine: Certified organic vineyard and dry farmed (non-irrigated). 70% Nero d’Avola, 30% Vermentino.

Whole cluster Nero d’Avola was first foot-tread for an overnight maceration on skins before pressing, then fermented and aged on its fine lees in neutral vessels. Vermentino pressed immediately and fermented separately in stainless steel prior to blending with the base Nero d’Avola rosato wine. Unfined. Filtered for stability.
