Celebrating Rosé Day with Etude Pinot Noir Rosé
Get ready to toast Rosé Day on June 10th with a sublime pairing of our Pinot Noir Rosé and a savory tomato bruschetta, made fresh from the organic produce of our on-site garden.
Our Pinot Noir Rosé, with its luscious notes of strawberries and cream, pomegranate, white peach, and honeysuckle, beautifully complements the tangy-sweet flavors of ripe tomatoes. A simple yet tasty bruschetta recipe brings together the harmony of fresh tomatoes, garlic, and basil, enhancing the fruity characteristics of our wine.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe tomatoes (use a mix of varieties if you have them)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 handful of fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar
- 1 loaf of ciabatta or baguette
- Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
Directions
- Start by preparing the tomatoes. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces, removing the seeds if you prefer. Place them in a large bowl.
- Add the finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, and chopped basil to the tomatoes.
- Drizzle over the olive oil, then add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Add the balsamic vinegar and stir everything together until well mixed. Leave the mixture to marinate for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- In the meantime, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Slice the bread into 1-inch-thick slices and place on a baking tray.
- Drizzle the slices of bread with olive oil and toast in the oven until golden brown, around 5-10 minutes. Once toasted, you can optionally rub a clove of garlic on the bread for extra flavor.
- Once the bread is ready, top each slice generously with the tomato mixture.
- Serve immediately and enjoy with your glass of Etude Carneros Rosé!
2021 Pinot Noir Rosé
A beautifully delicate, soft, rose petal pink, blushed peach hue, with beguiling aromas of vibrant wild cherry, crisp white peach, sweet nectarine, and orange blossom perfume on the nose. The palate is refreshing and inviting with strawberries and cream, bright pomegranate, white peach, honeysuckle, and zesty blood orange, alongside hints of delicate rose water and lychee fruit. A silky, viscous mouthfeel, with lively mouthwatering acidity that is balanced by a creamy, round mid-palate, that has lively buoyancy and a focused, linear, zingy, slightly pithy, and dry finish.
