The new barrel-fermented 2019 Rosé of Pinot Noir

The new barrel-fermented 2019 Rosé of Pinot Noir was going nicely with an April rainstorm and Monopoly—when the sun broke through and we bolted outside for a beautiful 10 minute walk-and-sip. #kanzleryourquarantine ⠀
Here are Alex’s winemaking notes:⠀
⠀
Kanzler Vineyards Rosé of Pinot Noir is crafted using the saignée method, where juice is "bled" from a Pinot Noir fermentation tank and set aside to ferment as Rosé. Key to our process is executing this bleed as quickly as possible once the juice, skins, and seeds are in the fermentation tank. Our Rosé sees at most 2-4 hours of skin contact and sometimes we bleed the tank simultaneously as it’s being filled. This limited contact with skins preserves a very light pink color and fresh flavors. ⠀
⠀
The juice is settled for 1-2 days and then racked to neutral (at least 5-year-old) oak barrels for fermentation. The barrels are placed in a refrigerated room where the juice ferments slowly over 2-3 weeks. Once fermentation is complete, the wine ages in barrel for just 2 months. The barrels are never stirred, and malolactic fermentation is inhibited. The finished wine is racked to a stainless steel tank and undergoes a gentle filtration prior to bottling.⠀

Gentle reminder, the Spring Release closes tomorro

Gentle reminder, the Spring Release closes tomorrow ⏰... and about those percentages on the bottle 🍇 // List members, we’re closing the Release Tues. 3/31, so if you’re hoping to secure your new Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Rosé, do reach out to us. Shipping info below. 🔎 // Our focus this release has been on the really exceptional flavors and textures of the 2018 Pinot Noir... But we haven’t yet mentioned that we changed the back label, and think you’ll appreciate it! You now see a breakdown of the vineyard sources, because our flagship wine is unusual for a blend: The majority of grapes are grown here on the estate vineyard. The other three vineyards in the composition are independent family-owned gems situated nearby. This is why the Russian River Valley Pinot Noir delivers the deeply compelling, rich, yet lithe character of the Sebastopol Hills neighborhood. 🎁 // SHIPPING: With so many of you staying home to help prevent the spread of coronavirus, we’ve expedited our shipping to next week — to get your wines to you sooner. Doorstep delivery of Spring orders is complimentary for Sonoma County locals. ❣️// Take good care everyone.
