Patricia Green Helen Dusschee Rose of Tempranillo, 2022
Willamette Valley, Oregon
12%
Tempranillo
The fruit was 100% whole bunch pressed and settled for 2-3 days before being racked into a variety of different fermentation vessels including a puncheon, a stainless-steel tank, a sandstone amphora and a couple of concrete tanks. These were all inoculated and fermentation proceeded slowly through the end of our late harvest and into the beginning of winter. As fermentations finished in December all the wines were racked into a large stainless tank in preparation for fining and filtration. This wine goes through almost no malolactic fermentation so it is sterile filtered.

Patricia Green Cellars' 2022 Helen Dusschee Rosé of Tempranillo is sourced from Freedom Hill Vineyard in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The block of Tempranillo was planted in 2012 and is managed with a focus on sustainability. The fruit was whole-cluster pressed, settled for several days, and fermented in a combination of puncheons, stainless steel tanks, sandstone amphorae, and concrete. Malolactic fermentation was minimal, and the wine was sterile filtered before bottling to preserve freshness.
TASTING NOTES: This rosé reveals notes of watermelon, strawberry, and hibiscus, with a light, crisp texture and a stony, mineral finish.
FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs well with grilled seafood, fresh salads, light pasta dishes, and soft cheeses. Also excellent as an aperitif.
