'Rhianna' 2022 Barbera Rosé

Grapes from Lombardy, Italy.

Hand harvested then shipped by Renegade in refrigerated trucks at 2˚C direct to the London winery.

Wine fully made in London, UK.

Whats the wine like?

Rhianna is a perfect wine for spring and summer, thanks to the low temperature fermentation we’ve achieved aromas of orange blossom and light red fruits, with raspberries and bright red apple on the palate. While still fruity there is a pleasing salinity that tempers the wine, making this a fresh, light rose that is versatile in food pairing as well as an easy drinking crowd pleaser.

So how was Rhianna made?

The grapes were pressed off immediately so as to make a light, subtle rose, we fermented the wine at a low temperature to preserve the aromatics, and kept the wine in stainless steel as we aimed for a fresher style.

With freshness in mind we didn’t put the wine through malolactic fermentation, but we still wanted some mouthfeel and texture so we did regular batonage post fermentation before filtration.
