Endless Crush Rosé, produced by winemaker and owner, Kathleen Inman, was originally a 20th anniversary gift to her British husband Simon. When they harvested Olivet Grange Pinot Noir on the same date as her 20th wedding anniversary, Inman decided to celebrate the occasion by setting aside some of the Pinot Noir harvest to craft a special rosé. Hence the birth of Endless Crush. —Katie Kely Bell, Forbes
Producer's Notes:
The grapes (100% OGV Estate fruit) were picked on August 17th, 2016. Tthe fruit was de-stemmed and left to cold soak in half-ton macro bins. Occasionally, I would punch down the fruit to try and extract a little color. The fruit was then pressed on a delicate white wine cycle. The juice was moved to tank for cold settling, racked and then inoculated for primary fermentation using a Provençal yeast strain. After crossflow filtration the wine was bottled December 7th, 2016.
