WINE MAKING PROCESS
This rosé wine is produced from the Muscat Bailey A grape. The winemaking follows the Clairet style, which typically involves limited skin contact with the grape juice, usually for around 24 hours. This process is designed to extract color and some tannins, resulting in a rosé that is darker and more substantial than many other styles. Specific details on fermentation, aging, and other technical aspects for this particular wine and vintage are not provided.
