Coming Soon!
Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do, than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
- Mark Twain
The Sail; a Rose that celebrates the warm summer day as it brings in a cool saline mist through the evening. While always refreshing, we seek to highlight the complexity of the wine's red grapes, featuring different styles and methods from around the world.
The Sail should be brought to all places where clothing is optional.
INSPIRATION:
When we think Bordeaux, we usually think Red Blend - the region's claim to fame for its process of assemblage. However, Bordeaux has much to offer aside from its big reds, especially when it comes to rose. Classically produced from an assemblage of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, these roses tend to be darker in colour, with aromas of grapefruit, red berries, and currants, while priding themselves on drinking fresh and fruit forward.
INTERPRETATION:
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot were harvested at optimal ripeness to accentuate full flavours while retaining fresh acidity for structure. Destemmed, then cold soaked for 16 hours, the fuit was gently pressed to extract delicate, ruby-pink juice. It was then fermented at 12 degress Celsius for 12 days using classic French rose yeast which is known to produce bright red fruit and floral aromas. Finally, the wine was settled, racked, and stabilized before botting young to lock in its youthful vibrancy.
