2007 'Vin Gris' Pinot Noir
Since its inaugural vintage in 2005, the Vin Gris has been one of Husch’s most popular spring wines. We call our wine a Vin Gris – “grey wine” – which typically denotes a pink wine that is crafted in the French style from the black Pinot Noir grapes. Though the finished result appears similar to a “blush” wine, our Vin Gris is dry and does not have residual sugar.

The grapes were crushed at the winery and allowed to soak up only a small portion of the pigment from the dark grape skins. After 24 hours the juice had turned pink – but not yet fully red – and we quickly pressed the must and separated the pink grape juice from the dark grape skins. The wine was then fermented like a white wine and bottled without any extensive aging in the winery.

The 2007 Vin Gris offers pronounced flavors of strawberry and watermelon with a touch of spice. Perfect for a summer afternoon, this rosé has a round mouthfeel, yet finishes dry and crisp. Enjoy with fresh fruit or a light summer brunch.
