2009 SOFIA ROSÉ
Francis Coppola Sofia Rosé is a wine of unparalleled beauty. From its shapely, stylized bottle to its delicate fruity essence, Sofia Rosé is a wine like no other. When served chilled, its refreshing style makes a delicious partner to light summer fare and savory hors d’oeuvres.

VINEYARD NOTES
A blend of Grenache and Syrah, the fruit for our rosé is grown in the cool vineyards of Monterey County, where the growing seasons are typically long and the soils impart uponthe grapes bright red fruit flavors and nuances of violets. In 2009, the weather wasdecidedly mild throughout the season, which allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and fully without damage from rain or frost. This year’s Sofia Rosé demonstrates bright fruit flavors and pronounced aromatics.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES
We typically harvest the grapes for our Sofia Rosé at a lower brix to ensure we get a light wine that pairs elegantly with food. This vintage, there were no extended periods of hot summer weather, so the brix at harvest was absolutely ideal. A few extra weeks of hang time furthered flavor concentration. Immediately after being picked, the fruit is brought to the winery, crushed and de-stemmed. For color extraction, the grapes cold soak for 48 hours before the juice is separated from the skins. Then, we ferment at a cool temperature in order to retain the crisp acidity that is critical for this style of wine.
