Springtime Rosé

Facts

• 100% Pinot Gris
• 100% locally-grown grapes from Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas.
• 12% ABV (alcohol by volume)
• 3% RS (residual sugar) This is the sugar that remains in the wine after the fermentation process.
• Fermented and aged in stainless steel for a crisp, vibrant taste.
• Pinot Gris is almost always produced as a white wine, but in exceptional years it can be made as a rosé as well. In order to acheive this, the grapes must be of high quality and the wine must stay in contact with the skins for at least 8 weeks.

Food Pairing

• Cheese and Charcuterie
• Blue Cheese Dip with Crudité
• Green Salads with Poppy Seed Dressing
• Roasted Chicken with Italian Seasoning
• Grilled Salmon with Jamaican Jerk Seasoning
• Fresh Fruit Tarts

Frosé Fruit Slushies

For a refreshing treat, combine a bottle of the Rosé of Pinot Gris with frozen fruit and ice in a blender.  To bring out the flavors of the wine, we recommend frozen watermelon and strawberries.

Taste the flavors of our region in this light-bodied, multi-layered rosé wine. Flavors of sweet strawberry will mingle on your palate, leaving you craving another sip.

This limited-production wine is available at our two Traverse City area tasting rooms and online only.  Mention this blog and receive 10% off this unique wine the next time you visit.  Please note supplies are limited, so stop in and see us soon! 

About the Writer, Olivia Kiel

As a Manager at the Old Mission Peninsula Tasting Room and blogger for Black Star Farms, I get the opportunity to write and learn about wine (two of my favorite things) every day. Over the years I’ve developed a passion for everything Black Star Farms by working alongside the company’s best and pouring its finest wines for guests from all over the world. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Ferris State University where I studied Writing and Business and have been a Northern Michigan resident for about three years. When I’m not pouring wine, you’ll likely find me with a good book, enjoying the outdoors, or tasting something new and exciting at a local winery. Thank you for reading my posts, and don’t hesitate to say hello next time you visit Black Star Farms Old Mission. Cheers!
