River Stone Malbec Rosé 2024 ($24)
“The grapes for this Malbec Rosé are grown in a vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills AVA in the larger Columbia Valley AVA in Washington State. Grapes were grown on wind-swept south-facing slopes, approximately 800ft above the Columbia River. Like the South Okanagan Valley, daytime heat was plentiful, with cooler nights allowing for optimal ripening while retaining vital natural acidity. The grapes were picked with slightly higher acidity and lower sugar levels to stylistically achieve a lighter-bodied, lively Rosé style.
We utilized the same vinification method as our previous vintages of Malbec Rosé, including a two-day cold soak, and temperature-controlled fermentation. We allow the wine to rest on fine sediment for a short time before filtering and bottling.”

The Gamay Noir continues to be the workhorse for the rosé. It was destemmed, crushed into the tank and left on skins for 24 hours before pressing.

River Stone Cabernet Franc Rosé ($24.90)
“The Cabernet Franc was hand-picked and destemmed. The Cab Franc Rosé was made in a traditional style, where we cold-soaked the grapes for 24 to 48 hours and then fully pressed them, separating the pulp from the juice. In doing so, we extract some rich colour and skin tannin, enhancing the wine mouth feel. Then, the clarified juice undergoes a cool, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is further aged for three months on the finer lees where complexity and mouth feel are developed. The 2023 vintage was blended with 10% Pinot Gris, fined, filtered and bottled. The result is a beautiful, vibrantly coloured rosé.”Ted Kane

A combination of whole berry and whole cluster pressing was used to extract a clean juice.
