Derek Barnett is the man behind Meldville. This is the first (of three) rosé wines that he has crafted at his virtual winery in Niagara. Here are his notes about this wine:
The Cabernet Franc grapes for this wine were harvested in beautiful conditions. Only 45 minutes of skin soaking the juice was pressed off giving a light pale salmon colour. After the juice was chilled, settled and racked in to stainless steel tank for fermentation using a selected yeast. Ferment was cool keeping the aromas and flavours crisp and fresh.
