WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Golden Year Rosé is produced by Urban Wines using Grenache and Syrah grapes from the IGP Pays d'Oc in Languedoc-Roussillon. A key technique involves harvesting the grapes at night to maintain their freshness. For the Grenache component, the skins are macerated for about 12 hours during fermentation, a process designed to impart color and aroma while preserving a light character. The wine is made in collaboration with Hanna Widell and Amanda Schulman. It is noted for its light pink color and is intended for early consumption.
