Hopewell Hills 2017

Product description

Tasting Notes
Soft southeast facing slope. A light silt and clay soil sitting on deeply fractured columnar rocks. Hopewell Hills like its next door neighbor “Gathered Stones” is all about bubbles and crystals. Smaller and finer bubbles and crystals produce a wine that is somewhat softer than “Gathered Stones" with a fruit driven energy that illuminates in waves coursing through the wine. 288 cases produced.

About the Wine Maker
Rose and Arrow Estate wines are a philosophy turned into a project involving some of the world's most talented people in the viticulture and oenology. Meticulous study and development of the terroir by Pedro Parra, bio-dynamic viticulture combined with the winemaking expertise of Bourgogne hot-shot Louis-Michel Liger-Belair resulted in some of the most exciting and outstanding wines made in the USA. After years of experimentation and improvements, 2017 is the first vintage that Rose and Arrow has been made available outside the USA.  Each of The seven cuvées are singlular and expressive, eachwith their own character, specific structure and minerality.
