Château de Fontenille Bordeaux Rosé
Wine Description
The Cabernet Franc grapes used in the making of the Bordeaux Rosé are picked from the vines in the cool of the early morning hours to preserve their freshness.
Gentle pressing and a brief maceration period yield the wine's delicate hue, while stainless steel fermentation at a cool temperature preserves freshness of fruit and bright acidity. Following just a few months in tank, Bordeaux Rosé is ready for bottling, and of course drinking!
