2008 SANTANA SUPERNATURAL ROSÉ

Santana Supernatural Rosé represents a collaboration between Mumm Napa and famed rock guitarist Carlos Santana, who donates 100% of his proceeds from sales of the wine to his family’s Milagro Foundation, which aids under-served children around the world.

METHOD: Mumm Napa winemaker Ludovic Dervin works with Carlos Santana to select the blend and dosage for the wine. The fruit is harvested by hand during the cool evening morning hours to optimize freshness. At the winery, the clusters are carefully delivered to a press that gently extracts their juice at low pressures, with only the first press ‘fractions’ retained. Fermentation of the individual vineyard lots is conducted at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruit intensity. Twenty percent of the base wine is aged in French oak barrels to enhance texture and richness. The wines are blended, and the final blend bottled, during the spring, following the harvest preparatory to the second fermentation in bottle. The 2008 Santana Supernatural Rosé spent 56 months “en tirage” yeast aging in the bottle after secondary fermentation, which imparted a seductively creamy tone to the wine’s jammy fruit flavors. PROFILE: Deliciously smooth and supple, the 2008 Santana Supernatural Rosé features lovely plum, cherry, blackberry and vanilla aromas, with a light toastiness from yeast aging. The palate is rich and creamy, with fine structure and flavors of fig and blackberry jam.

OCCASION: This is the perfect wine to enjoy while immersing yourself in one of Santana’s classic albums or scouring the Internet for tickets to one of his upcoming shows. It’s also a versatile food wine, pairing especially well with quiche, ham and enchiladas with salsa verde.
