Rose Hill Farm 'Pearly Dewdrops' Hudson River Region 2022 375ml

Rose Hill Farm, in northern Dutchess County, traces its history back to 1798. Owned and run as a fruit orchard by the Fraleigh family for two centuries, the farm eventually expanded to include cherries, blueberries, peaches, raspberries, pumpkins, and winter squash in addition to apples. Bruce and Holly Brittain, along with Chris Belardi, purchased the farm from Dave and Karen Fraleigh and have maintained the Pick-Your-Own orchards since, while shifting to holistic growing practices and starting Rose Hill Ferments. Their line of wines, ciders, and multi-fruit co-fermentations began in January 2020, and their taproom barn space opened later that year. In a very short time, Rose Hill’s experiments with natural fermentation, long macerations, and skin contact have earned a dedicated following. ‘Pearly Dewdrops’ is Rose Hill’s riff on plum jerkum, a plum wine with a centuries-old history in the north Cotswolds, particularly Worcestershire. Made from 100% Rose Hill Farm estate grown fruit, this delectable sipper is 76% carbonic-macerated stone fruit (plums, cherries, and apricots) co-fermented with 24% cider, bottled méthode ancestral. Raw, unfined, and unfiltered, this is a whole orchard in a bottle! Luscious plum aromas lead into a mixture of stone fruit and apple flavors on a velvety palate, followed by a cherry-tinged finish. Incredibly aromatic, decadently sparkling, this is addictively quaffable. Chill well before opening - contents under pressure!
