THE Ros\u00e9 Competition 2018, under the auspices of the American Fine Wine Competition held its judging in\u00a0Ft. Lauderdale, Florida<\/span>\u00a0on\u00a0April 10<\/span>, 2018.\u00a0Eight esteemed wine judges gave out numerous awards. Sill Family Vineyards’ 2016 tr\u00e9s Ros\u00e9 de Chardonnay garnered the GOLD medal award for its unique 98% Sonoma Coast Chardonnay blended with Napa’s Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon\u00a0($65)<\/span>\u00a0crafting their extraordinary Ros\u00e9. Congratulations go out to an excellent new player on the Ros\u00e9 scene.<\/p>\n

THE Ros\u00e9 Competition 2018, received a total of 173 entries. “Ros\u00e9 is very possibly the most difficult wine to craft,” said Winemaker Igor Sill of Sill Family Vineyards.<\/p>\n

“But when crafted properly it outshines and outsells all other wines. I love Ros\u00e9 for its crisp brilliance, fruity aromas, smoothness and the wonderful mouth feel it leaves behind. For years I’ve contemplated producing a\u00a0superior California Ros\u00e9 born of my Provence and South of\u00a0France<\/span>\u00a0memories. A Ros\u00e9 that’s rich, elegant, silky smooth and an extraordinarily different Ros\u00e9. Essentially, introducing an ultra-premium Ros\u00e9 for serious Ros\u00e9 lovers while making a real difference in the industry.<\/em><\/p>\n

“One of the most alluring elements of our tr\u00e8s Ros\u00e9 de Chardonnay is its ability to offer the very best of both wine worlds with the refreshing qualities of an exceptional Burgundian Chardonnay along with the richness, complexity, and depth of Bordeaux-styled Cabernet Sauvignon. Our resulting tr\u00e8s Ros\u00e9 de Chardonnay is a first in the wine industry. What distinguishes our tr\u00e8s Ros\u00e9 de Chardonnay from all others is the grape varietals used and the French white oak barrel aging.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The aging of tr\u00e8s Ros\u00e9 de Chardonnay is done in white French oak barrels, a critical step in the production of truly great wines. These barrels serve to enhance and preserve the characteristics of the grape variety, the terroir, and the wine’s flavor. The aromas are rich fresh floral with flavors of pear, watermelon, guava, cherries and the slightest nuance of spice in a silky, creamy mouthfeel texture across the palate.<\/p>\n

“It’s that beautifully fitted black dress of Ros\u00e9 wines that seduces with alluring bouquets of cherry blossoms before drifting memorably into the late evening. This wine is everything you’d ever expect in an ultra-premium Ros\u00e9. We may make many compromises in life, but never with our wines,” said Winemaker,\u00a0Igor Sill.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
