The 2023 Rosé of Pinot Noir is the third iteration of rosé from Hirsch. Fruit is picked, “a bit riper than is normal for rosé,” Jasmine Hirsch and consulting winemaker Michael Cruse explain. Grapes are destemmed and soaked on skins for 24 hours before pressing. It is fermented in barrel without malolactic conversion and bottled the summer after the harvest. “For rosé, that extremely extended winemaking process is necessary to achieve the result we want,” they explain. It has a medium salmon-pink color and takes several minutes in the glass to reveal yellow peach, cantaloupe, green herbs and musky floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate is ripe and textural with full, concentrated flavors. Its generosity is balanced by soft, juicy acidity, and it has a long, flavorful finish.
