The 2016 Matthews Rose’ was crafted exclusively from a single vineyard site in Washington State, located south of the Royal Slope in the Columbia Valley. Farmed using sustainable practices, the vines were hand-harvested early in the mornings of late summer. Upon arriving in the winery, each cluster was hand-sorted and macerated for 18-20 hours in order to achieve full color extraction before pressing. Using only free-run wine, it was then moved to 100% stainless steel tanks for fermentation. Evaluated over 40 individual times by our winemaking team, only 125 cases were produced.
