Austin Winery "Opening Ceremony" Mourvèdre Rosé 2023

Coming from the chalky, rocky, aptly-named soil of Limestone Terrace in the Texas Hill Country, this Mourvèdre comes off earlier than most varieties, making it more appropriate for rosé. The winemakers do a short bleed for color and flavor, then move the juice into stainless steel to ferment. The shorter ripening period keeps the flavors lighter and brighter and the acidity balanced. A ripe stawberry note dominates the note and front palate, with a smooth texture followed by a grippy white pepper finish that makes you reach for another sip.
