‘Midnite Négoce Cabernet Franc Rosé'
Cabernet Franc, Prince Edward County (PEC), Ontario
A vibrant, juicy and unique Ontario rosé for locavores. Last House is a small batch winery situated on the beautiful limestone shores of Lake Ontario. This is the second negoce, or purchased-fruit, cuvée from winemaker Andre Gagne, the cab franc was sourced from Kevin Watson in Niagara’s Four Mile Creek. A striking hibiscus hue is achieved by leaving the grapes on skins for 12 hours before pressing off and fermenting with the addition of a pied de cuve made from estate chardonnay – think the winemaking equivalent of a sourdough starter being added to flour – in primarily stainless steel tanks (90%) and neutral oak (10%) for a suggestion of roundness. FUN FACT! Only 110 cases were made, get your bottles NOW! Pick-It-Yourself strawberry patch, lemon juice, foraged herbs, plum sauce, peppery spice & a cheeky structure. Enjoy alongside your grandma’s signature recipe for turkey pot pie.
