Llano Estacado Winery produced this limited release Syrah Rosé from the Syrah grapes grown on the Mont Sec Vineyards.  This Rosé is made in a dry Mediterranean style, a style that falls somewhere between a Blush and a light red wine, and accentuates the berry aroma characteristics with a light tannin balance.  To make a wine of this style, the grape skins remain in contact with the cool juice for 48-hours.  After this "skin-contact" the juice has extracted flavor and just enough tannin from the skins to give it it's color.  The juice is then drawn off the skins and allowed to ferment until dry.

We recommend this refreshing wine be served slightly chilled.  It is great with food and would pair well with shish-ka-bob from the grill, pulled pork sandwiches and most Mexican foods.  It is also a very nice sipping wine.  We hope you enjoy it.
