Style & Tasting Notes

The Jess displays fresh strawberry, cranberry and watermelon fruit, floral notes and a smooth finish.

Wine Making Notes

The grapes are specially harvested for Rose production at different sugar levels. The components of Jess are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks to enhance the playing field for the final blend. The juice is treated like a white wine and fermented with no lees contact or malolactic fermentation. The wine was bottled at the end of May 2008.
