A stroke of luck, you could call this rosé. On Sept. 7, when our winery was far from ready, we received more pounds of our gamay grapes than expected. We pumped the grapes into the stainless steel tanks, which filled up due to the large quantity, allowing the remaining juice to flow directly out of the barrel. So, in effect, this is a free-run juice rosé. Alcoholic fermentation had not yet begun; however, there was skin contact; hence the rosé's beautiful color. The gamay and muscatel were blended immediately thereafter and the grapes fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. Except for a small addition of sulfites - which we use to prevent the growth of unwanted microorganisms - and our organic wine yeast, this wine contains no other additives, plain grape juice in other words. We used a cellulose filter to filter the wine.
Our Fathers are classic wines and are made from the finest grapes from across Europe. These wines are terroir driven and a celebration of our farmers and that small piece of land that gave us this harvest. They are raised with attention and care but more importantly with a lot of patience.
The world of wine is one of tradition, full of rules, dogma and age-old etiquette. In our Sons line, we break that. Our Sons surprise and are therefore often made through unconventional techniques, using spontaneous fermentation and with the use of amphorae.
Our Grandsons are easy-going, playful and accessible European blends. We think they are the quintessential everyman's friend. Wines that we created together with our partners in Europe and our customers in Amsterdam, with well-known and popular grapes and with which we define the taste of Amsterdam.
