Description

Domaine Gerard Fiou Sancerre Rosé AOP 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Sauvignon Blanc, from the Saint-Satur region of Sancerre.

Taste Profile: This refreshing, very fruity rosé will seduce you with its bouquet of raspberries. It's easy to drink, fresh and particularly well-balanced in structure and aromas.

Winemaking Process: This Sancerre rosé is a bleeding rosé obtained by draining the juice of the Pinot noir grapes after 48 hours of pre-fermentation cold maceration. This is followed by a 3 month maturation on lees

Fruity Rose

Candied summer fruit in a bottle, these fruit driven wines are typically from warmer climate regions, such as Spain & Australia. Expect notes of ripe berries, vanilla, cherry, bonbons, spice

Saignee Method

Saignée involves the bleeding off, or draining off, of a proportion of juice from a tank of crushed red grapes. This technique increases the amount of skins relative to juice in the tank and typically results in a concentration effect, producing richer wines with more colour and tannin.
