Day Wines, 2021 Lemonade (Rosé), Willamette Valley

The 2020 Oregon fires gave her lemons, so she made a quick 'lemonade' with minimal time on the skins; this style continues in 2021. The nose shows peach, apricot, and a tart white raspberry. The palate has really racy acidity and a good hit of peach and tart raspberry fruits. 100% Pinot Noir Rosé from Oregon's Willamette Valley; bright and floral with nuances of strawberry, grapefruit and candied cherry blossom.

Founded by winemaker and owner Brianne Day in the 2012 vintage, Day Wines is a producer of boutique, artisanal bottlings made from fruit sourced exclusively from a small group of Oregon growers who utilize Biodynamic, Organic and/or Sustainable vineyard practices. To create distinct expressions of our corner of the world, we focus on fruit harvested from the esteemed Willamette Valley to exotic varietals found in Southern Oregon’s Applegate Valley AVA.
