KRUSH
Barrel Oak Winery · Carbonated Rosé · Chambourcin 60% · Vidal Blanc 40%
The first release of KRUSH, a fun, approachable, non-pretentious sparkling rosé. A little natural grape residual sugar is left in this wine, about the same sweetness you would find in a prosecco.
Chambourcin and Vidal Blanc juice are blended and cold-settled in a chilled tank for 7 days before racking clean juice into a clean tank for fermentation. Fermented in 100% stainless steel at 54 degrees, this wine does not go through malolactic fermentation, retaining malic acid for a balanced acidity profile. After protein and tartrate stabilization, the wine is force carbonated in a brite tank and bottled using a counter pressure bottle filler.
