![Rosé](https://mercer.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com/matthews/bottleShots/_300x950_crop_center-center_82_line/OUTSHINERY-Matthews-Rose-2017.png) White tea, peaches and cream with citrus zest start the nose. Swirling brings up dried strawberry, flowers and watermelon. The palate is juicy, with fleshy stone fruit, vibrant acidity and a finish that reminds me of strawberry panna cotta. Irresistible to drink now but will continue to develop over the next 6-9 months.

Vintage Notes

The 2017 Matthews Rosé was crafted from a single vineyard site in Washington State, located atop the Frenchman Hills in the Royal Slope of 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 de-stemmed and macerated for 18 hours before pressing. Using only free-run wine, it was then moved to stainless steel tanks for 6 months. Evaluated over 40 times by our winemaking team, only 386 cases were bottled.
