Winemaking Process
The creation of Ménage à Trois Hot Pink Rosé begins with a rich white blend as its foundation, sourced from California vineyards known for producing varietals with lush, decadent fruit flavors and supple body. French Colombard is added to the blend to introduce brightness and enhance varietal intensity. The winemakers employ a cap and drain technique, followed by cold fermentation at 50º F to preserve fresh fermentation aromas. To maintain crisp acidity and balance the sweet, indulgent fruit flavors, 100% non-malolactic fermentation is utilized. The wine is further elevated with natural essences of strawberry, raspberry, and pineapple, and a touch of light carbonation is added to enhance its refreshing character.
