Kim Crawford Illuminate Rose 2020

The grapes were picked, stems were removed, and they were gently crushed directly to the press with minimal contact with the skins. Despite the short time on the skins, the wine still has a vibrant color. The clear juice obtained was then fermented at a cool temperature using specific strains of yeast to preserve the distinctive characteristics of the grape variety.

'Spinning Cone' technology is employed to lower the alcohol content in a portion of the initial wine. This method utilizes a low-pressure distillation process that selectively removes alcohol while preserving the wine's aroma. The alcohol level is reduced to below 1% in approximately 60% of the final quantity, and then 40% of the original wine is blended back to achieve a final alcohol content of 7%.
