Rosewood Estates Winery & Meadery is an award winning boutique winery located on the Beamsville Bench. Family owned and operated, Rosewood is proud to produce 100% VQA Ontario wines and the first honey wines in Niagara. The winery crafts low-intervention wine, innovative mead, and local honey that reflect their individuality as artifacts of the Niagara Region.
The Rosewood story begins over 80 years ago when R.W. Roman’s passion for beekeeping and mead began as a teenager in Ukraine. After arriving in Canada, he continued keeping bees alongside his son, Eugene Roman, who quickly fell in love with the craft. Years later, during Eugene & Renata’s honeymoon to Niagara-on-the-Lake, the two fell in love with the region for its natural beauty, people and wines. Here the concept of Rosewood began, as Eugene promised his new wife that one day he would build a winery with her. The winemaking is led by Ryan Corrigan, with previous experience in Napa Vally, Okanagan Valley, New Zealand and Europe before returning home. The team employs traditional, Old-World winemaking techniques with modern equipment to create elegant, textured and balanced wines.
Tasting Notes
Bright, almost hot pink, in the glass makes this wine stand out from a visual perspective and immediately gives off the cool 1990s vibes. The nose and palate do not disappoint either; aromas of sweet sun ripened berries give way to juicy ripe fruit flavours and light salinity. The mid palate has a slight roundness making the overall mouthfeel really enjoyable with no harsh edges. This is a very crushable rose best enjoyed with friends and light summer fare.
Method
The 2022 Flora Rosé is a blend of 56% Cabernet Franc and 44% Gamay. The free run juice is wild yeast fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for five months on lees. Bottled without fining after filtering. It is vegan friendly and dry, with less than 2 g/L RS. The label art is by Crystal Zapata.
