NEW RELEASE (Ships April 2013). The Chiara Rosé from
Chiarello Vineyards is back! Making a Rosé wine in red wine
country took some convincing, but I realized we could make an
especially interesting one. Our Chiara Rosé comes from Old Vine
Zinfandel grapes. As we bleed off juice to concentrate our red
wine, the by-product is terrific juice tinged with beautiful rose
color, just ready for barrel-fermentation. And voila, a full-bodied
Rosé of Zinfandel, rich with tropical fruits and berries. Pairs
wonderfully with a wide array of foods. Equally as good in summer
as in early fall and with Holiday meats! Only 180 cases
made.
