Winemaking
This distinctive wine was crafted with Pinot Noir grapes that are grown specifically to showcase the attributes we desire in rosé. Picked earlier in the season at night to preserve freshness, the grapes are brought to the winery and gently pressed as whole berries while the fruit is still cool, with a brief skin contact to extract the ideal color. The juice was transferred to a stainless tank, fermented slowly at a cooler temperature, and then aged 6 months before bottling.Vineyard
The Sterling Vineyards Pinot Noir Rosé fruit hails from Ranch No. 9, located in the Los Carneros American Viticultural Area (AVA), at the southern tip of Napa Valley. Characterized by its rolling hills and cooling winds, Carneros' proximity to San Pablo Bay helps to temper heat events and foster higher acidity in the resulting fruit grown in the region. The region’s shallow clay loam soils and marine-influenced climate foster ripe aromatics of stone fruit and floral notes, ideal for the production of lush rosé wines.
