Pinot Noir 'Sex Rose' House of Smith 2024
Winegrower's winesThe Pinot Noir Rosé 'Sex' by House of Smith is made from pure Pinot Noir and stands out for its fresh and savory profile. The grapes come from the Evergreen vineyard, which extends along the Columbia River, in the Ancient Lakes area of Washington State, a site characterized by a cooler climate due to the river's influence. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts occurs in whole clusters in steel, a technique that promotes a more delicate extraction, preserves aromatic integrity, limits tannic extraction, and enhances the floral and fruity nuances of the grape variety. The wine then ages for four months on the lees in steel, gaining greater roundness and taste harmony. On the nose, notes of white peach, passion fruit, and red flowers emerge. The palate shows freshness, savoriness, and a silky texture that accompanies the finish. Perfect paired with grilled Pacific salmon with herb sauce
