Description

Benjamin Bridge Cabernet Franc Rosé 2018

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Cabernet Franc. The fruit grows in Benjamin Bridge's organically farmed vineyard along the Bay of Fundy.

Taste Profile: Benjamin Bridge Cabernet Franc Rosé has a classic pink hue. The nose opens with red currants before leading into complementing hints of sea salt, flint, lime and rose petals. Energetic and round palate that is slightly sweet, dry and has a crisp acidity. Persistent grapefruit and blood orange citrus with gentle cranberry, apple and a dash of sea salt. Unfolds in a long and pleasant saline finish.

Winemaking Process: Enduring commitment to low-intervention practices: farming fruit sustainably, no sulphites at harvest, 100% wild fermentations, and natural sugars. Wild fermentation with no additions. Hand crafting this wine with no chemical additions, naturally occurring wine tartrates, or affectionately known by industry professionals as “wine diamonds”, may be visible in some bottles.
