Dalton Estate Rose

Rosé is a blush wine made from barbera, zinfandel, and a little cabernet. The red grapes are brought into the winery towards the end of the summer and after crushing allowed to sit on their skins for about 8 hours before pressing, resulting in a light pink juice. This pink juice was cold fermented for three weeks in order to preserve as much of the character of the wine as possible. Fermentation was stopped early by freezing so that some residual sugar would remain. Dalton Rosé is an incredibly aromatic wine, with the essence of bright strawberry, rose pedal, and red grapefruit. The wine is slightly off-dry and its bright acidity enhances the length of the wine’s fruit-driven palate. Dalton Rosé was made with the Israeli climate in mind and is particularly suitable for Mediterranean climate and cuisine, it is highly suited for an aperitif, Mediterranean food, roasted eggplant, tahini, and pasta. In addition, light soft cheeses accompany the wine very well.
